German term or phrase:Standzeit bis versiegeln
I know what Standzeit means here: The time by which the sealing has to be done.
This is within the context of freeze drying experiments. On of the steps involves "sealing".
Can I say "time window for sealing"? of is there a better expression.
may be appropriate, it the material (foodstuff?) will act or react in some way during this time, or setting, for instance. In case a hygrospcopic material was dried, it should be sealed to proctect against humidity as soon as possible, e.g. after reaching ambient temperature. I could not found specific references for "standing time" in the freeze-drying context see annex to my proposal) and have still some doubts.
Sure, I have. I have posted it. Next to it it says 10 - 15 minutes.There is nothing else. I have already given the other entries in my previous postings. I cannot created things out of the blue.
I don't have much context excpet for this being an entry in a table thast has to do with the FD experiment. I also gave the other entrues.. besides that, I don't have any other context.
Will the product deteriorate, if the max. time is exceeded? Because of humidity attracted from the environment? Could you please post the German phrase, where "Standzeit" appears? This would help us to find the appropriate term or to propose a work-around. The more context, the better the proposal.
Cilian: I gave the context that's available to me. I mentioned that this is the sealing step of the freeze drying process. The other items are Umgebungsbedingungen 20.6 C, 50.6% rel H. and Art der Versiegelung Autom. Sieglefolie.
I cannot create artificial, non-existing context. I don't need to diaplay all other tables either... I think there is enough to figure out what this phras means. I had my doubts.. but yes, I have some ideas. That should not be surprising right? That should be welcomed, right/
Here? In this particular instance?
You have not explained it very well.
Zareh, you need to ask decent questions. There's ZERO context. You're inviting answers from any tom, dick or housewife..., and I doubt that's your intention...
so, I am thinking may be "time window for sealing"...?

working life, working time until sealing
Explanation: In many instances the decision to pretreat a product is based on theoretical knowledge of freeze-drying and its requirements, or is demanded by cycle time or product quality considerations.
:
Furthermore, freeze-drying also has a long process time, because the addition of too much heat to the material can cause melting or structural deformations. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeze-drying
(this article describes frezze-drying in detail)
Neither this or other translations of "Standzeit" like service life, lifetime or stability time would be appropriate in the context, so I have to look for other synonyms for "Standzeit".
What about "Verarbeitungszeit" or "Topfzeit"

Two-part structural adhesive having long working time

Sie bestimmen nicht nur dessen Reaktivität (Hautbildungszeit, Topfzeit, Verarbeitungszeit, Frühbelastbarkeit, Durchhärtegeschwindigkeit) und mechanische Eigenschaften, sondern oft auch Haftungsprofil, Alterungsverhalten etc.
They do not only determine its reactivity (skin over time, pot life time, open time, green strength, curing speed) and mechanical properties, but also its adhesion profile, ageing behaviour etc. http://www.linguee.de/deutsch-englisch/search?sourceoverride...
Mit kaltem Wasser anrühren, bis der Mörtel die gewünschte Konsistenz hat und innerhalb der Topfzeit von 2-5 Minuten (bei 20° C) verarbeiten.
Mix and stir with cold water until the desired consistency has been obtained and apply within the pot life of 3-5 minutes (at 20°C).

What is standing time?
Answer
Standing time is used in food preparation to denote an interval when the food item is left standing. No further cooking, no stirring, no addin' stuff, no "nothin'" is done during this time. The preparation of a simple and elegant dish of oatmeal usually includes a short amount of standing time, and the traditional cook will let the dish stand for a brief period. The standing time is included for a reason, and the reason is exactly what you think it is. http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_is_standing_time
What is "standing time"?
Microwaves cause water, fat, and sugar molecules to vibrate 2.5 million times per second, producing heat. After the oven is off or food is removed from the oven, the molecules continue to generate heat as they come to a standstill. This additional cooking after microwaving stops is called "carryover cooking time," "resting time," or "standing time." It occurs for a longer time in dense foods such as a whole turkey or beef roast than in less-dense foods like breads, small vegetables and fruits. During this time, the temperature of a food can increase several degrees. For that reason, directions may advise to let a food "rest" for a few minutes after turning off the oven or removing food from the oven. http://www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/microwave_ovens_and_food...
Once the complete, the GREEN [unfired] investment mould is usually allowed to stand for a period under ambient conditions. Standing allows the mould to to air dry and can also improve the overall quality of the mould. The period of time allowed for standing varies according to the investment system used by the founder and the volume of refractory within the mould. CERAMIC SHELL investments tend to acquire a satisfactory GREEN STRENGTH more rapidly than PLASTER & GROG or HYBRID investments. In fact ceramic shell moulds can proceed to the wax burnout stage almost immediately after the application and drying of the final sealing coat (though some standing time is nearly always preferable). http://www.artenero.com.au/5_kiln_cast/waxremove_2.html
Marinating your food items allows the flavours to sink into the food and can break down the fibres resulting in meat that is more tender. Different marinades and recipes call for different lengths of time that you should leave the meat in the marinade. Normally leaving the meat overnight in a refrigerator is the recommended process. Vacuum packing and sealing forces the marinade into the meat faster and minimises the standing time. http://www.cadac.uk.com/index.php?page=et-grilling
