Failure Rate Data and Factors
Generic failure rate data and environmental factors are given in
Table A-38 and
Table A-39 for use in the early design stages when detailed information may be insufficient to permit the use of failure rate models. Failure mode data is also included in these tables.
When using generic data, the predicted failure rate (λp) in the operational or non-operational mode is given by the expressions:
Operational mode:
Non-operational mode:
