Informe anual de compañía de gas natural
Context.- The term "gama" appears several times throughout the document:
"Realizar ET para cotizar servicio especializado de pintura, verificar con posibles proveedores condiciones requeridas para
el servicio. Además, dar de alta ***gama*** semestral de verificación de estado de la pintura en caso de que no exista."
"Solicitar OT para verificar el estado de los aislantes en la soportería de la línea de gas natural, y en caso de faltar alguna colocarla. Verificar que exista ***gama*** semestral para verificar este punto, en caso de que no exista elaborarla."
"Elaborada ***gama*** para revisión de fugas en líneas de drenaje y que van al condensador. Se revisará mensualmente. Ya realizada en una ocasión y solicitadas las correspondientes OTs."
"En proceso. Se analiza la creacion de ***gamas*** para esta formacion (training course)."
I'm thinking they're referring to "procedure", but I've never seen "gama" used this way.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Kind regards,
Claudia.

procedure/instructions
Hi Claudia,
Your interpretation is correct. "Gamas" in this context are periodic maintenance instructions/procedures, which are included in the standard maintenance schedule. The term is widely used in power generating companies.

| Thank you, Mar! This is, in fact, a document from a gas company that just merged with a wind energy company, and the term appears many times when they are talking about maintenance. I tried using other meanings of "gama," but they just didn't seem to fit, and I wanted to make sure I wasn't guessing here. Thanks again! |

range
Creo que calza bien en todas las oraciones que nos dan.
En el texto fuente omitieron el artículo, pero yo leo que en cada semestre debe haber un rango para hacer comprobaciones.

You are backtranslating and apparently someone did a rush "search/replace" with that term. My sympathies!

Dale un vistazo a "verification ranges" en Google :)

| Gracias por tu sugerencia, María Eugenia. Había considerado "range" porque es la acepción más utilizada de "gama", pero sigue sin sonarme mucho cuando la trato de encajar en esto... y sí, la redacción de este documento deja mucho qué desear, en general. Thanks for your sympathies! I need them! ;) |

: Doesn't seem to fit very well, particularly in the last example, where only procedure makes sense.
