The class is the general pressure rating of the valve. For flanged valves, it also determines the flange pressure rating and size. Most valves of similar type (ie: gate or globe) of the same class will have the same end-to-end dimensions.
The exact temperature/pressure ratings of each class of valve depend on materials of construction and can be looked up on an ANSI chart.
