Noun
MTBF (plural MTBFs)
(engineering) Initialism of mean time between failures.
A complex system containing hundreds or thousands of components might be able to achieve a MTBF of 10,000 to 100,000 hours, meaning it would fail at 10 −4 or 10 −5 per hour. Source: Internet
For the sake of convenience, these failure statistics often are translated into MTBF (in this case, installed life before failure). Source: Internet
The MTBF of a better pump may be one to four years longer than that of its non-upgraded counterpart. Source: Internet
The MTBO is calculated by the equation, where MTBF is the nonredundant mean time between failures and FFAS is the fraction of failures for which the failed equipment is automatically bypassed. Source: Internet
The MTBF for a micro USB jack is 10,000 insertions. Source: Internet
