[0018] Working principle: 1. Before testing, place the valve 4 to be tested on the support platform 8, insert the lower positioning ring 20 into the lower end tube of the valve, and ensure that the lower positioning ring 20 is in close contact with the inner wall of the lower end tube; the cylinder rod of the longitudinal cylinder 2 moves downward, causing the upper pressure seat 3 to press against the upper end tube of the valve 4 to be tested, and the upper positioning ring 19 is inserted into the upper end tube and in close contact with the inner wall of the upper end tube.
