Abstract: A device for holding a flap of a non-return valve in a closed position, which is configured to carry out hydraulic testing of a device or apparatus, includes a body which takes the form of a caliper with two arms that are articulated relative to each other, at a first of the two opposite ends thereof, about a first axis, in that it includes a holder articulated about the first axis and in that the two arms each has, at the second end thereof, a pad pivoting about axes that are parallel to the first axis.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic proof test assembly comprising at least a valve (1) with parallel seats (102). It comprises: a shut-off member (2) with parallel plates (20, 21), connected by connecting means for regulating their separation, to make them go from a first position in which this separation is sufficient to enable the shut-off member (2) to be introduced into said valve (1) to a second position where said separation is greater, this separation making it possible to apply them firmly against said parallel seats (102); a device (3) for inserting said shut-off member (2) into said valve (1) which comprises at least a “U” shaped tool, configured to be introduced into said valve (1), its parallel arms forming guides, while its base forms a support for retaining said shut-off member (2); a “dummy stem” (4).
