Surface treatment (pickling)
Context:
"Um die Standzeit des Beizbades zu erhöhen... ."
Even my TM contains a wealth of translations for Standzeit, for various translators, e.g.:
down-time
dipping time
dwelling time
immobility periods
immobility times
immobilization time
standing time
tool life
obviously, most can be ruled out straight away, but which actually applies here, if any of the above (I suspect none may actually be 100% applicable here, as it sounds to me like it is referring to the life/lifetime of the bath liquid)?
* Sentence or paragraph where the term occurs: See above
* Document type: Plant specifications
* Target audience: Engineers & planners
* Country and dialect (source): Germany (corporate, no dialect.)
* Country and dialect (target): American English (corporate, no dialect.)

: Good point. If the liquid itself is meant, then this suggestion fits best.

operating period - another translator's take on this
Überwachung von Beizbädern in der Stahlindustrie
Zum einen führt das zu einer Qualitätssteigerung beim Endprodukt, zum anderen aber auch zu einer längeren Standzeit des Beizbades unter gleichzeitiger Verringerung der laufenden Betriebskosten (geringerer Chemikalieneinsatz notwendig).

Monitoring of pickling baths in the steel industry
On the one hand, this improves the quality of the end product, on the other hand, there results a longer operating period for the pickling bath with simultaneous reduction of its running costs (reduced usage of chemicals).

"The Liquid Sealing Concentrate bath will
seal approximately twice the number of
plates as its No-Nickel counterpart, before it
is depleted."

Übrigens, Alle Bauteile sind vor dem sauren Beizen nach ABC321 alkalisch zu beizen.
