Mean time between failures may go up to 15 years.

One issue is the mean time between failures due to metal fatigue.

As a computer system grows in complexity, the mean time between failures usually decreases.

The reliability increased from 32 hours mean time between failures to a requirement of 65 hours.

Numerically, this lambda is also the reciprocal of the mean time between failures.

Graphs were drawn and projections made about performance, maintenance man-hours, mean time between failures and, of course, costs.

For repairable components like a replaceable light bulb the concept of mean time between failures is used to describe the failure rate.

Mean time between failures (MTBF) are quoted in hundreds of years.

Life span is usually measured in mean time between failures (MTBF).

The mean time between failures is better than 900 hours with Built-in test equipment (BITE).

In practice, the mean time between failures (MTBF, 1/λ) is often reported instead of the failure rate.

Many hard-drive manufacturers include a Mean Time Between Failures figure on product packaging or in promotional literature.

Among the most common measures of reliability are the mean time to first failure, the mean time between failures, and the failure rate per unit time.

Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is closely related to failure rate.

Mean time between failures: The first components it is expected to fail in a TMOS technology is the illumination system.

In actual, real-time situations involving Minuteman missiles, the mean time between failures (MTBF) was over 5.5 years.

Also, because of the vacuum tube electronics, the radar system (like most other early generation radars) had a low mean time between failures (MTBF).

It is typically expressed as either number of failures-in-time (FIT), or mean time between failures (MTBF).

The reliability of such systems can be calculated statistically and is stated as the mean time to failure, which is a variant of mean time between failures.

Mean time between failures (MTBF) is the predicted elapsed time between inherent failures of a system during operation.

Examining pump repair records and MTBF (mean time between failures) is of great importance to responsible and conscientious pump users.

In practice, the closely related Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) is more commonly expressed and used for high quality components or systems.

New electrical system increases reliability (better than Mil STD 1245A, higher operational readiness, increased mean time between failures, fault-finding diagnostics with test equipment.)

Expected lifetime of electronic (or other) parts, if wearing is not considered (this is called Mean Time Between Failures, MTBF)

Apple states that the Hitachi Deskstar meets or exceeds the 1 million hour mean time between failures (MTBF) recommendation for server-grade hard drives.
