I am looking at a 1" metal seated ball valve with a Cv of 40. What is the maximum allowable leakage rate at 100 PSI for Class IV service?
 
Look through some of the recent posts, the allowable leakage rates have been posted.
 
I believe ANSI Class IV leakage rating means less than .01% of the Cv. For your 40, that's .004 gpm.
 
I think the relevant answers can be found in
