    CLASS V0.0005 ml per minute of water per inch of port diameter per psi differentialWater at 50-125F (10-52C)Max service pressure drop across valve plug, not to exceed ANSI body rating.Pressure applied to valve inlet after filling entire body cavity and connected piping with water and stroking valve plug closed. Use net specified max actuator thrust, but no more, even if available during the test. Allow time for leakage flow to stabilize.
    CLASS VINot to exceed amounts shown in the following table based on port diameter.Air or nitrogen at 50-125 F (10-52C)50 psig or max rated differential pressure across valve plug whichever is lower.The actuator should be adjusted to operating conditions specified with full normal closing thrust applied to the valve plug seat. Allow time for leakage flow to stabilize and use a suitable measuring device.

    *Bubbles per minute as tabulated are a suggested alternative based on a suitable calibrated measuring device, in this case, a 0.25-inch OD X 0.032-inch wall tube submerged in water to a depth of from 1/8 to 1/4 inch. The tube end shall be cut square and smooth with no chamfers or burrs. The tube axis shall be perpendicular to the surface of the water. Other measuring devices may be constructed and the number of bubbles per minute may differ from those shown as long as they correctly indicate the flow in milliliters per minute.

    Final Thought For ANSI FCI 70-2 Standard

    There are lots of standards for industrial valves, including design and manufacturing, inspection and test standards, face-to-face standards, connection standards, as well as material standards, etc. Basically, a reliable valve manufacturer has its own manufacturing procedure, to guarantee the quality of products. For example, the following is our factory manufacturing procedure.
