[0002] A valve is a device used to control the flow of fluid; a valve is usually composed of a valve body, a valve cover, a valve seat, a valve core and an operating device. When the valve is opened, the fluid can smoothly pass through the opening of the valve to achieve unobstructed passage, and when the valve is closed, a seal is formed between the valve body and the valve seat to prevent the passage of the fluid. During the production and manufacturing of valves, pressure testing of the valve's sealing performance is required.

[0003] When using traditional testing equipment, the valve to be tested is installed on the corresponding pipeline to form a passage in the pipeline, and water is supplied to the inner cavity of the pipeline, and a constant water flow pressure is output to the valve to be tested to test the sealing of the valve. However, when traditional equipment performs pressure testing on the valve, the pressure acting on the valve is constant and the water flow pressure cannot be adjusted, which leads to certain limitations in the test results and the inability to derive the tolerance range of the valve for normal use.
