Valve Needle
Explanation:
e.g. Injection valve with a flat seat valve and valve needle.
There are no google results for "flat seat pin" since this part is called a needle. You might call it "flat seat needle", however, it is not usually used this way but all three parts are named separately (injection valve with flat seat valve and valve needle). You can find a lot of hits googeling the terms separately and in combination
