Aiming at this problem, this paper proposes an NWTD-WP feature extraction algorithm by combining the wavelet packet (WP) algorithm and the improved two-parameter threshold quantization function. The results show that the WP algorithm has a good feature extraction effect on the valve leakage signal, and the improved threshold quantization function can avoid the defects of the traditional soft threshold function and hard threshold function, such as discontinuity and the pseudo-Gibbs phenomenon, when reconstructing the signal. The NWTD-WP algorithm is effective in extracting the features of the measured signals with low signal\/noise ratio. The denoise effect is much better than that of the traditional soft and hard threshold quantization functions. It proved that the NWTD-WP algorithm can be used for studying the existing safety valve leakage vibration signals in the laboratory and the internal leakage signals of the scaled-down model of the large-diameter pipeline\u2019s ball valve.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23104790","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,17]],"date-time":"2023-05-17T01:58:06Z","timestamp":1684288686000},"page":"4790","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Research on Signal Feature Extraction of Natural Gas Pipeline Ball Valve Based on the NWTD-WP Algorithm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0957-8461","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lingxia","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Petrochemical Engineering, Lanzhou University of Technology, Lanzhou 730050, China"},{"name":"Machinery Industry Pump Special Valve Engineering Research Center, Lanzhou 730050, China"}]},{"given":"Shuxun","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Petrochemical Engineering, Lanzhou University of Technology, Lanzhou 730050, China"},{"name":"Machinery Industry Pump Special Valve Engineering Research Center, Lanzhou 730050, China"}]},{"given":"Zhihui","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Petrochemical Engineering, Lanzhou University of Technology, Lanzhou 730050, China"},{"name":"Machinery Industry Pump Special Valve Engineering Research Center, Lanzhou 730050, China"}]},{"given":"Jianjun","family":"Hou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Petrochemical Engineering, Lanzhou University of Technology, Lanzhou 730050, China"},{"name":"Machinery Industry Pump Special Valve Engineering Research Center, Lanzhou 730050, China"}]},{"given":"Xuedong","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Petrochemical Engineering, Lanzhou University of Technology, Lanzhou 730050, China"},{"name":"Machinery Industry Pump Special Valve Engineering Research Center, Lanzhou 730050, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Galassi, R., Contini, C., Pucci, M., and Gambi, E.
