Dutch term or phrase: stamper
Vlaamse tekst: rapport over ongeluk met gasfles (de fles werd horizontaal vervoerd ipv rechtop - kraan onderging "mechanische impakt" die leidde tot breuk waardoor het gas vrijelijk kon stromen).

"- verder was de afsluiter [van de gasfles, SC] niet voorzien van de beschermkap zoals wordt aanbevolen bij het transport van gasflessen;
- de afsluitkap dient om de kraan tegen een eventuele mechanische inpakt te beschermen;
- opvallend is ook dat het kraanlichaam niet enkel een afdruippatroon heeft van gesmolten metaal maar ook duidelijke aanwijzingen van een mechanische breuk;
- het onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat de stamper in het kraanlichaam nog mooi loodrecht stak en dat er aan de kraan zelf geen mechanische vervormingen voorkwamen.
- het inwendige van het kraanlichaam vertoont geen sporen van wrijving die zouden worden verwacht wanneer de stamper scheef zou gezeten hebben."

Ik vind op Google niet veel meer dan botanische verwijzingen of drilmachines, en het lijkt hier toch echt om een element in de kraan van de gasfles te gaan...

Heel veel dank weer!

Explanation:
The "stamper" is part of a valve. Kluwers Universeel Technisch Woordenboek gives the definition of stamper as a rammer, ram, pestle or pounder and that is indeed the function of the "stamper" in the valve. The problem is that these names are not applied to any parts of a valve as they are designated in English. Different manufacturers appear to name parts differently and I think the words "push rod", "piston" or "stem" are used to designate a part of the valve which performs the ramming function. Hope this helps. I don't actually have time to look up schematic diagrams to append at the moment but I am sure you may be able to find some in Google images. Hope this helps.

neutral  Olly Pekelharing: I thought 'needle' more likely.

  -> I think for the cylinder valve itself a spindle is the right word, the regulator that is attached when the cylinder is linked to a system has a needle valve.

Reference: Valve?

Reference information:
You may have already thought of this, but based on the context, it may be a valve. This is an image of a household gas tap, with the valve 'mooi loodrecht'

Note to reference poster
Asker: I did, Olly, and didn't quite reject it; simply couldn't find any refs for "stamper" ;). "Valve" does make sense. Thx for the image!
