Air-operated valve is one of principal valves that are used to control fluid flow in nuclear power plants. It is necessary to evaluate periodically the performance of the AOV(Air-Operated Valve) which is used for controlling flow and pressure in nuclear power plants. In this study, we developed the integrated program HAES including hardware system to evaluate the performance of AOV. HAES(HANVIT AOV Evaluation System) consists of many modules such as valve information, thrust and torque analysis, actuator analysis, weak analysis and margin analysis. We applied with the test valve and showed that results evaluated by HAES is similar to those offered in the plant.
