Ansi B16-104

The document outlines the ANSI B16.104 specification for valve leakage classes and their maximum allowable leakage rates and required testing procedures. It defines six leakage classes from I to VI, with class I allowing no leakage and class VI allowing the highest rates. For each class it specifies the maximum percentage of rated capacity or absolute leakage rate, acceptable test mediums of air, water or nitrogen, and minimum test pressures. It also describes the required test setup and procedures to establish the leakage rating, such as applying pressure to the inlet or filling the body cavity and measuring the stabilized leakage flow.
