The invention claimed is: 1. A valve comprising: a body, a stem having a dispensing passage for dispensing a substance from the valve when the valve is open, and a one-piece sealing ring having an annular body comprising a rigid component and a flexible component, the body having an aperture passing therethrough, wherein the stem is slidably mounted in the aperture in the sealing ring for reciprocal movement relative to the sealing ring between a closed position, which closes the valve, and an open position, which opens the valve, wherein the flexible component provides at least an inner section of the sealing ring body which is contiguous with the aperture such that all of a boundary surface of the aperture is presented by the flexible component and the flexible component is positioned radially between the rigid component and the stem, and wherein the boundary surface of the sealing ring aperture is in constant sealing contact with the stem. 2. A valve according to claim 1, wherein the flexible component has a Shore hardness value of 45 to 80. 3. A valve according to claim 1, wherein the rigid component has a Shore hardness value of greater than 80. 4. A valve according to claim 1, wherein the rigid component has a greater resistance to an aerosol propellant and/or moisture than the flexible component. 5. A valve according to claim 1, wherein the rigid component includes a material selected from the group consisting of a polybutylteraphthlate, polyoxymethylene, metal and nylon. 6. A valve according to claim 1, wherein the flexible component includes an elastomer. 7. A valve according to claim 1, wherein the sealing ring is static relative to the valve body. 8. A valve according to claim 1, wherein the stem is slidably mounted for reciprocal movement, along an axis, wherein the boundary surface is axially-oriented and constantly sealingly engages an axially-oriented surface of the valve stem, and wherein the boundary surface is the only surface of the sealing ring in contact with the axially-oriented stem surface. 9. A valve according to claim 1, wherein the rigid component is wholly disposed in an outer section of the sealing ring which is radially spaced from the aperture by the inner section. 10. A valve according to claim 1, wherein the sealing ring consists of the flexible and rigid components. 11. A valve comprising: a body, a stem having a dispensing passage, and a one-piece sealing ring including a rigid component and a flexible component, wherein the stem is slidably moveable relative to the sealing ring from a closed position to an open position, wherein a portion of the first flexible component is positioned radially between the rigid component and the stem, wherein the sealing ring is a first sealing ring and further including a second one-piece sealing ring, wherein the body defines a metering chamber and a sampling chamber, wherein, in the closed position, the dispensing passage is isolated from the metering chamber and the metering chamber is in communication with the sampling chamber via a transfer passage, wherein, in the open position, the dispensing passage is in communication with the metering chamber and the transfer passage is isolated from the metering chamber, and wherein the second sealing ring includes a rigid component and a flexible component.
