Through the above scheme, when pressure testing, first, pressure test flange one 1 is welded with pressure test flange two 2, then shell connecting flange 3 is connected with pressure test flange one 1 through first bolt 7, first nut 8 and first gasket 6, so that it is effectively sealed. Then packing seal 5 is loaded into the sealing groove of pressure test flange two 2, and pressing flange 4 is fastened with pressure test flange two 2 through second bolt 9 and second nut 10, so that the pressing force of the end part of pressing flange 4 on the packing is changed to 45 °, which can enhance the overall stability and reliability of the tool. Even in a high-pressure environment, it can also maintain good sealing performance and prevent leakage from occurring, and then the shell of the entire floating head heat exchanger can be hydrostatically tested to detect whether the pipe head between the shell, connecting pipe, heat exchange pipe and tube sheet has defects.
