In my existing plant, all of gas compressors are single piece hollow piston. I do not know the specific reason for this design.

-Please advise me about the disadvantage to design two pieces piston.
-For self venting per API 618, are there any difference to design spring loaded relief plug between single piece and multi-pieces piston?
