What would be a specification for testing a high cycle butterfly valve?

Ideally, how many cycles would be good enough?

Thanks in advance for your help...
 
How many cycles does the customer using the valve expect?
 
What size?
What application conditions, material, etc.?
What reliability requirement (like shutdown valve)?
 
What size? 3"
What application conditions, material, etc.? Aluminum for Dry Bulk
What reliability requirement (like shutdown valve)? Long period of maintenances, longevity
 
How many cycles does the customer using the valve expect? 50,000
 
I know I've seen 20,000 called out for Navy valves in Mil-V-24624
