Six high-power drills are tested for 150 hours each. One failed at 45 hours; all others completed the test. Calculate FR(%), FR(N) and MTBF.

High-Power Drills

Drilling machines with high output power, designed for heavy-duty tasks and capable of penetrating hard materials.

FR(%)

Failure Rate (Percent), a measure often used in reliability engineering to indicate the likelihood of failure per unit of time.

MTBF

Mean Time Between Failures, a reliability metric that measures the average time between failures of a system or component.

  • Calculate failure rate, mean time between failures (MTBF), and interpret their significance in reliability engineering.

Final Answer :
FR(%) = 1/6 or 16.67%; operating hours = 5 × 150 + 45 = 945; FR(N) = 1/945 or .0011, and
MTBF = 945 hours
