Injection device for reagent

An injection device for administering a reagent into an exhaust passage of an internal combustion engine, the injection device having an axis (A) along its length and comprising:

• an outwardly opening valve member having a seating surface which is engageable with a valve seating region;
• and
• a seating member provided with an internal bore which defines the valve seating region, wherein the internal bore further defines a flow re-directing region downstream of the valve seating region;
• and
• wherein the seating member has an end face provided with a feature which intersects with at least a portion of the flow re-directing region to define, together with the flow re-directing region, a spray path for reagent exiting the injection device when the valve member is moved outwardly from the bore away from the valve seating region, wherein the spray path has a variable spray angle, relative to the axis A, around the circumference of the valve seating region, wherein the end face of the seating member includes an angled region which is angled relative to the axis (A) of the injection device, wherein the end face of the seating member and the internal bore define a circumference of intersection which forms an acute edge at least a part of the way around said circumference, wherein the acute edge is non-existent at diametrically opposed points around the circumference of intersection.
