Spanish term or phrase: Servicio amargo
Hello,

This is my first time to use KudoZ.

I am currently translating a report (Spanish into English) related to the works performed at a construction project in my area. One of the works includes a gate valve with replaceable seat rings for "servicio de gas amargo", which PEMEX (Mexican Petroleum) defines as

"6.8. Servicio amargo: a) Servicios con crudo o gas que contienen suficiente H2S que puede inducir agrietamiento en los materiales por lo mecanismos SCC"
(source: https://es.slideshare.net/squalo1988/nrf-001-pemex-2013-tube...

Here is the sentence in Spanish:
"INTERIORES DE ACERO INOXIDABLE 316 Y YUGO-BONETE BRIDADO, DISCO TIPO TAPON CON DUREZA 500 BRINELL, ASIENTOS RECAMBIABLES PARA SERVICIO DE GAS AMARGO."
I am not sure if "servicio amargo" refers to the same thing in the case of gas and oil. Would "sour gas service" be a correct translation? Does anybody have any suggestions?

sour service/sour gas
Explanation:
Sour service is referred to exploration and production environments in oil and gas that have enough H2S that could cause cracking of metallic materials.

Sour gas is natural gas or any other gas containing significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide.
