Failure Rate Units, Format and Conversion
Failure data appears in various shapes, forms, and formats. Different units are often utilized, such as failures per hour, failures per million hours, and FITS. Further, data may be expressed as an overall failure rate, safe failure percentage fractions, and coverage factors. At times, it is separated into categories like dangerous detected, dangerous undetected, and dangerous never detected. Proficiency in comprehending and converting between these presentation types and units is a critical SIS engineering skill.
In this webinar, we cover all commonly used representations of failure rates, explore the various units in which these rates can be expressed, and provide guidance on converting between different formats.
