Past and Present
Gleneld Valves was established in 1852 in Kilmarnock,
Scotland. Thomas Kennedy (Snr) was founder of
Gleneld. Thomas Kennedy (Snr) came to Kilmarnock
from the West Highlands in 1824. He had realised the
need for an accurate device for measuring water
consumption, and with the help of John Cameron, the
local clockmaker, he perfected a design that was
patented in 1852 and became the Worlds First Water
Meter. A syndicate of four people was formed to
nance the manufacture and marketing of the
invention, and this led to the formation in 1896 of a
private company called The Kennedy Patent Water
Meter Co. Ltd. In 1865 the same individuals formed
the Gleneld Co. Ltd to make castings for the Meter
Company but gradually widened its interests and built
up an extensive valve and hydraulic engineering
business. In 1899 the two companies merged to form
Gleneld and Kennedy Ltd, which became the largest
company of its type in the Commonwealth.

Production Processes and Quality Management
Product Development
Product development plays a key role in the companys
activities. As part of a clear product market strategy,
Gleneld products have been re-designed and
improved in recent years, in an eort to raise
performance levels and reduce installation and
operating costs for the customer. Product development
teams have worked closely with AVK Tech, the groups
technology centre that develops new products,
production tools, equipment and production processes.
Changes to Gleneld/s product portfolio are based on
customer feedback as well as years of engineering
experience and analysis of product performance.
Rigorous testing is carried out on all products to ensure
that, as a minimum, they conform to the appropriate
authoritative approvals required, both UK and overseas.
In addition and more importantly, Gleneld products
are designed with the customer in mind, with
considerations being made for ease of installation,
reliability, longevity and low maintenance.
Supply Chain Sourcing and outsourcing strategy
The decision to source selected materials and
outsource selected manufacturing and services is based
on an evaluation of AVKs own ability and capacity
own production costs versus market prices, and
vendors quality in services and deliveries. Some of the
main products and services provided by vendors are
raw materials such as steel and metal, castings, coating,
and a variety of components.
Selection of strategic suppliers
The selection of suppliers is based on strict
investigations, auditing and test of the ability to supply
materials and services in accordance with the set rules
and standard required by AVK. In principle, suppliers
and vendors must live up to the same rules and
standards that apply to any of AVKs own production
units.
Sales logistics
A high delivery capacity, a fast response time, and the
ability to adapt quickly, are some of the demands we
are constantly met with. In order to meet these
demands and at the same time ensure that we can
continue to oer our customers an optimum service,
the service we oer our customers is like all our
operations, under constant development. A close
dialogue with our customers worldwide, enables us to
customize our service in each single market.
Quality Management in the AVK Group
All AVK factories are continually subject to quality
improvement and certication as part of the AVKs
focused quality management eorts.
Every factory is currently certied according to ISO
14001, the international standard for environmental
management. Moreover, most AVK companies are also
certied according to OHSAS 18001, the international
occupational health and safety standard.
Furthermore, the majority of the AVK factories are
certied to ISO 9001 or its equivalent, and AVK are
aiming to have all factories certied within a specically
determined time frame. In our Quality control System,
certied to ISO 9001, every process aecting the quality
of the products or services complies with the
procedures documented in our Quality Manual, just as
our products are being inspected and/or tested to
existing standards before leaving any AVK factory. We
are very dedicated to making quality guidelines an
integrated part of our production ows and processes
so that quality is embedded in the way we design and
actually process our products. Quality is a rule of life in
the supply chain universe of the AVK Group
As a token of our proven quality, we have obtained
coveted approvals from a large number of national and
international testing institutes, and the AVK products
have won recognition from a large number of
customers around the world.

Notes on Valve Applications
Series 37/54 Gate Valves
Their function is to isolate or sectionalise
any piece of equipment or length of
pipeline in water or sewage systems.
It is normal practice, therefore, to use
them on section and delivery branches, of
pumps, at regular intervals along a
pipeline, at branches underneath air
valves, on bypasses, on drains or washouts
etc.
They have a low headloss coecient,
hence are ideal on pump installations to
maximise system eciency.
11
Notes on Valve Applications
The onerous systems are those where
branch velocities are high, multi pump
delivery used, vertical lift is involved and
where surge vessels or similar are
employed
12
Notes on Valve Applications
It is used to ensure that upstream users do
not suer depleted water pressure at peak
ow periods. It acts as a priority valve by
permitting ow only when excess head is
available, thus enabling for example,
storage tanks to be lled at night time.
On pump installations it is employed to
enable pumps to run up to duty point
quickly by providing the desired back
head. It also prevents overspeed and
pump run out by throttling down when
pressure drops etc.
Sizing and other details are generally as
for pressure reducing valves.
Constant Flow Valves
This valve will maintain a constant rate of
ow regardless of variations in upstream
or downstream pressures.
It can be useful where steady ows are
required for treatment or dozing
purposes.
Flow limitation is another of its duties
where it is necessary to control the
amount of water drawn by a particular
user.
Again, where a multiple number of outlets
are being supplied from a common source,
this valve can be used to ensure that no
particular outlet draws more than its
allotted share.
13
Notes on Valve Applications
Series 856 Submerged Discharge valves
This valve is used for energy dissipation and ow
control and is installed in a compact stilling sump.
The water discharges into a positive head of water and
by the time the water reaches a pre-calculated level,
the energy is dissipated.
Sizing is based on a maximum inlet velocity of 6 m/s.
The K value depends upon the valve design whether it
be equal inlet/outlet or tapered outlet design.
K Value (equal inlet/outlet) = 1.2 full open
K Value tapered outlet = 1.6 3.0 full open
