I’ve bathed stuff for days in cold solution when restoring machines without a problem, and left it in a hot machine for a full working day when doing an in-situ descale. I think the acidity weakens a lot when you start dissolving kilos of calcium into it.

I've definitely observed this when descaling stuff. It had always surprised me how little limescale it takes to neutralise a quite strong acid solution.

Good excuse to show off my shiny pipes.
