What is the material difference for sour and sweet service?
(OP)
I am just wondering that what is the difference between sour service material and sweet service material. I know sweet service material cannot handle sour gas or emulsion. Then how is the sour service material? I think they are ok with sweet service? Is that right? Can somebody clarify for me? Thanks.

Are you thinkin of NACE MR-0103?
This came out after MR-0175, and is primarily for refineries.
Larry,
Yes, you can use "sour" material in sweet service. Most instruments and valves carry NACE certification, regardless of the service we put them in. This way, you don't make a mistake, or run out of "sour" valves.
