[0002] As one of the most common and important equipment in gas transmission stations, ball valves play an important role. Usually, ball valves larger than 4 inches are designed with an internal check valve in the valve body (the check valve has a single sealing function and is used to seal the fluid medium of the ball valve body with the outside world), which serves as the first line of protection against leakage. The check valve inside the grease injection nozzle serves as the second line of protection against leakage to prevent natural gas from blowing out.
[0003] As the equipment is running, the problems such as the valve grease nozzle being exposed, unable to inject grease, and failure of single-way sealing function are gradually increasing, and the grease nozzle needs to be replaced. Since the grease nozzle and the pipeline are connected, it is impossible to determine whether the function of the check valve of the valve body is intact, and the main line cannot be vented to replace the grease nozzle. Therefore, it is necessary to use special tools to test the tightness of the check valve in the ball valve to confirm that the check valve of the valve body is functioning intact to ensure the safety of the operation.
