How can the opening degree of the control valve be adjusted using a handwheel in the event that any of the following three types of control valves fail?

How can the opening degree of these two types of control valves be adjusted using a handwheel when the control valve itself is not functional? It’s better to be more specific – which ones can be controlled directly by turning a handwheel
The opening degree of the valve is determined according to the process requirements. The opening degree of a valve requires a reference point, and it is set according to the required degree of opening. For reference.
Aren’t these three all the same kind? \ud83e\udd14
It’s different, right? Can this handwheel be rotated directly?
The third method is to turn the handwheel directly, paying attention to its current position. The first two types should have switching devices so that operation is smooth when using pneumatic power; the images shown are not clear and don’t look good
For the third one, can it be rotated directly without cutting off the gas supply and releasing the instrument air first? Pay attention to how to understand the position of the handwheel
Under normal circumstances, if a valve gets stuck and the valve stem cannot be controlled via the positioner, it is necessary to operate the handwheel manually. In Figure 1, there is a vertical bar that can move up and down, and the cylinder in the middle serves as a position indicator. When the opening is zero, the small cylinder is in the center. If it is necessary to move the valve stem up or down, the handwheel must be turned; by observing the movement of the cylinder, one can determine the extent of movement of the valve stem
In simple terms, the handwheel on the valve is designed so that, when the positioner is unable to control the valve, the handwheel can, through a reliable mechanical mechanism, directly control the movement of the valve stem and thus take control of the valve once again
For the first control valve, when turning the handwheel manually, is it necessary to release the air from the cylinder? Also, is the cylinder in the middle open upwards? Is it off below?
There is usually an automatic/manual switch; in some cases it involves lifting something and turning a latch. You can try stopping the machine yourself – you can do whatever you want.
