Mean Time To Failure (MTTF)

Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) is a measurement used to predict how long a non-repairable product or component is expected to function before it fails. It represents the average operational lifespan based on reliability data. For example, if a device has an MTTF of 10,000 hours, it means that, on average, the device is expected to operate for that duration before experiencing a failure. MTTF helps manufacturers and users assess product durability, plan maintenance, and estimate service life, ensuring better decision-making and reliability management.
