Several challenging and extreme conditions affect venting components that regulate the flow of propellants in space rockets: 1) cryogenic temperature, 2) frequent movement to adjust the flow of media without lubrication, 3) subject to liquid oxygen (a very harsh chemical component), and 4) significant pressures (beyond 300 bar).
