Abstract
A plate valve comprises a first and third plate which enclose a second plate, the second plate including a metering element having a lesser thickness than the second plate such that the metering element does not contact either of the first or third plates. The valve element is disposed within the second plate such that the valve element stokes without contacting the first and third plate regardless of the fluid pressure of the fluid being metered. The valve element is suspended by a pair of arms arranged perpendicularly to the flow of the fluid being supplied to the valve to be metered thereby.
