Development of Valve Tester Machine for National Technical Qualification Establishment in the Field of Valve Maintenance and Application to Trial Examinations
Valves are widely used in various industrial fields, such as plants, vessels and shipbuilding. In particular, the performance of the valve is an important factor that can influence the performance of the entire system. Therefore, in this basic study to establish a national technical qualification in the domestic field of valve maintenance, demands for the fields of valves and major congruence were analyzed focusing on the industrial facility curriculum of Korea Polytechnics, and level-differentiated trial examinations were applied to relevant majors to standardize the developed valve tester. The trial examination result displayed that in the highest level of difficulty, in the medium level of difficulty and in the lowest level of difficulty, the pass rate was 0%, 17.86% and 39.29% respectively.
