ANSUFCI 702.2005 VALVE LEAKAGE CLASSIFICATIONS (Supersedes ANS! B16 104) Class. ential Class I, Il, and Vin construction and design intent, but no actual shop tes is made, (Class I _Inlended for double-prt or balanced single-port valves with a metal piston ring seal and metal-metal ‘seats. Ar or water at 48 lo 60 psig the tet fluid, Alowable leakage i 05% ofthe rated ful open capacity. Class IN,__Intendod fo the same type of valves asin Class I. Alowable leakage is ited to 0.1% of rated valve capacity Class IV. intondod for singlo-port and balanced single-por valves with extra-ioht piston seals ané metao-metal seats, Leakage rates limited to 0.01% of rated valve capacily (known as metal to metal) Test fu is ‘air or water, pressure 45 and 50 psig or the operating pressure I lower. Class V. Intend for the same types of valves as Class IV. The test id fs water at 100 psig or operating pressure, Leakage alloted i ited to 5 x 10 mi (= 005m) per minute per inch of fice diameter Der pst cifeenta Class VI. Intndod for resiiont-seatina vaives. The test Fuidis air o nitrogen, Pressure isthe lessor of 50 psig or (EN 60534.4) operating pressure. The leekage im depends on valve size and range from 0.1510 11.5 ml pes mute {or valve zee through to 12 inches (known a8 soft seat cessiicaton). Clas VI (ENGOS34+4) sas ‘tequently used as leakage bench mark for metal seated contol and isolation valves where a ight degree of shut of is required. ‘There are six seat leakage classifications defined by ANSI/FC! 70-2 (supersedes ANSI 816.104), The six valve Leakage classifications are as follows: ‘Table 1 «FCI 70-2 Leakage Rates Class VI (EN 605344)AP 598 VALVE LEAKAGE RATES [API 588 (also mirored by ISO $208) from the American Petroleum Insitute aso covers testng/nspection requirements {or gate, globe, check, ball plug and buttery valves.
