A- frame or monoblock construction

With super-long stroke lateral force components on guide increased due to relatively small connecting rods, so in order to maintain structural rigidity mono-block arrangements are preferred over A-frame arrangements.
Advantages of mono-block-
1.greater structural rigidity,

2 more accurate cross head alignment
3. forces distributed through out the structure resulting in lighter construction
4. improved oil tightness.
 mono block are fabricated from steel plates.

Why atomisation test should not be done in slide type fuel valves

Since very small needle lift is obtained in the test equipment result in an unequal pressure distribution in the cut off shaft resulting in a hard contact in a small area along with high frequency oscillations, low lubricity of test oil will increase the chance of seizure. Full lift and high lubricity of heavy oil eliminates this risk  of seizure during normal operation.( Always open and clean slide type valves before testing as cold sticky heavy oil along with small clearances can cause restriction in the movement of the spindle).
