The formula to calculate the FIT Rate (FIT) is:
\[ \text{FIT} = \left( \frac{\text{F}}{\text{T}} \right) \times 10^9 \]
Where:
FIT Rate (Failures In Time) is a measure of the reliability of a device, expressed as the number of failures that can be expected in one billion device hours of operation. It is commonly used in electronics and other industries to assess and compare the reliability of different components or systems. A lower FIT Rate indicates higher reliability.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula to calculate the FIT Rate:
\[ \text{FIT} = \left( \frac{5}{2000000} \right) \times 10^9 = 2.5 \times 10^3 = 2500 \text{ failures per billion device hours} \]
The FIT Rate is 2500 failures per billion device hours.
