[0018] In order to mechanically seal one end of the pressure measuring pipe 4, the pipe plug 51 is screwed with one side of the pressure measuring pipe 4, and the inner cavity of the pipe plug 51 communicates with the inner cavity of the pressure measuring pipe 4, the inner cavity of the pipe plug 51 is provided with the threaded groove 53 on one side, the plug 52 is screwed with the inner cavity of the threaded groove 53, the sealing washer 54 is fixedly arranged on one side of the inner cavity of the threaded groove 53, and the plug 52 is in extrusion contact with the sealing washer 54, and the sealing washer 54 can improve the sealing effect between the plug 52 and the pipe plug 51.

[0019] As a preferred scheme, further, the outer wall of the pipe plug 51 is provided with the exhaust hole 55 on the front side.

[0020] As a preferred scheme, further, the outer wall of the pipe plug 51 and the plug 52 is rectangular in shape on one side, so as to facilitate the rotation of the pipe plug 51 and the plug 52.

[0021] As a preferred option, the pressure gauge 6 is further positioned vertically above the outer wall of the pressure measuring tube 4 to facilitate observation of pressure fluctuations.

[0022] Its detailed connection method is a well-known technology in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows.

[0023] After installation, with ball valve 2 in the closed position, release the gas pressure in the cavity by 1-2 MPa (taking the main line operating pressure of 8 MPa as an example, directly reduce it to 6 MPa or 7 MPa). After leak testing, continuously observe the changes in pressure gauge 6. If there is no pressure fluctuation in pressure gauge 6 within 15-30 minutes, it proves that the valve does not have internal leakage. If the pressure continues to rise to the main line pressure, it proves that the ball valve has internal leakage. The value can be read directly by observing pressure gauge 6, and the internal leakage status of the valve can be judged based on the pressure fluctuation.

[0024] During the internal leakage test of valves in the station and valve chamber, when the DN350 bypass valve in the valve chamber of the Zhonggui trunk line is vented, a large amount of natural gas will accumulate in the valve chamber. When venting, rotate the plug 52 to separate the plug 52 from the sealing gasket 54 until it moves to the side of the vent hole 55, so that the natural gas can be slowly discharged through the vent hole 55. This reduces the amount of natural gas vented from the valve chamber, which can reduce the safety risks of valve chamber fire and explosion. The small amount of natural gas released by the valve can dissipate in a short time under good ventilation, reducing the risk of poisoning and suffocation of personnel in confined spaces and ensuring the personal safety of operators.

[0025] The original procedure for testing valve internal leakage was to vent the natural gas in the valve cavity to 0MPa and then repeatedly operate the drain (vent) valve to perform a pressure test to determine whether the valve had internal leakage.

[0026] After using this device, the gas pressure inside the cavity can be released by 1-2 MPa (taking the operating pressure of the Zhonggui trunk line of 8 MPa as an example, it can be directly reduced to 7 MPa). By reading the pressure on pressure gauge 6, it can be determined whether the valve is leaking internally. At the same time, this method will reduce the venting volume to about 10% of the original venting volume. Taking a DN1000 valve as an example: the valve cavity capacity is about 104 Nm³. After installing the tool, only about 10 Nm³ of natural gas needs to be released, which can directly avoid the waste of nearly 94 Nm³ of natural gas.

[0027] Currently, valve internal leakage testing requires repeated operation of the drain valve to pressurize after the valve chamber is vented in order to confirm the internal leakage status. Taking the Zhonggui trunk line valve chamber as an example, the internal leakage test time for two DN350 ball valves (process switching, valve operation, venting, natural gas diffusion, drain valve operation) takes about 1-1.5 hours (depending on the size of the vent valve). The operation time is long, and the operators are in a confined space containing flammable gas for a long time or frequently.

[0028] After using this device, the presence of internal leakage in the valve can be determined directly by observing the pressure fluctuation after the initial pressure release. Taking the Zhonggui trunk line valve chamber as an example, the internal leakage test time for two DN350 ball valves is only about 0.5 hours, saving time and effort. At the same time, it reduces the repeated operation of operators, reducing the risk of mechanical injury to personnel; it also reduces the frequent operation of equipment accessories, reducing equipment wear and tear and failure rate.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
