Reliability Toolkit

Thermal Eyring Acceleration Factor Calculator

Compare use and test temperatures for a thermally activated mechanism, including a temperature-dependent life prefactor.

Engineering inputs

Supported range: 0 to 5.

Supported range: -100 to 500.

Supported range: -100 to 500.

Supported range: 0 to 1e+09.

Use the fitted thermal life prefactor exponent. Zero reduces this form to Arrhenius. Supported range: -5 to 5.

Results

Your calculation

Enter the inputs and select Calculate.

How to use it

Check the inputs and assumptions.

  1. 01

    Enter use and test temperatures, activation energy and test duration.

  2. 02

    Set the fitted temperature prefactor exponent; one is a common convention, not a universal material constant.

  3. 03

    Review the acceleration factor and equivalent use exposure.
