The Leakage Class of a Control Valve can be: Class I: any rate agreed to by the buyer and seller. Class II through Class IV: range from being a .5% to .01% of full flow Class V and Class VI: These two ranges are fairly tight shut off classifications and are rate in bubbles per minute under test conditions set forth by the NIST. More information about the test conditions and measurement details can be found online.

Seat leakage is defined as leakage that is internal to a valve-between the inlet and outlet sides of the valve-when the valve is in its closed position. It is not limited to leakage across the valve seat, but also encompasses all leakage across the valve trim when the valve is in the closed position. Leakage across internal trim seals, such as piston rings, and across trim-to-body seals, such as gaskets, can be counted as seat leakage. It is important to note that, while leakage through valve stem packing is of growing concern in the industry, governing industry standards address this type of leakage separately and do not consider it to be a form of seat leakage.
Class V in accordance with FCI 70-2
class of valve means standardization of the valve . For different working pressure and working field different class of valve required. A.k. Bora
a gate valve is a one way totally open or closed valve, a control valve is a variable valve.
I believe that servo is motorized and solenoid is magnetically activated.
