What does beta mean?
Beta controls Weibull shape: values below, near or above one can represent decreasing, approximately constant or increasing hazard behaviour respectively.
Reliability Toolkit
Weibull Reliability and B-Life Calculator
Evaluate a two-parameter Weibull life model using shape parameter beta and characteristic life eta, including a selected B-life percentile.
How to use it
Inputs that remain auditable.
- 01
Enter beta and eta in consistent time units.
- 02
Enter the time at which reliability is required.
- 03
Choose a failure percentile such as B10 to obtain that life value.
Questions
Frequently asked
What is B10 life?
B10 is the time by which the Weibull model predicts 10% cumulative failures, equivalently 90% reliability.
