MIL-PRF-55182K涵盖了非确定可靠性（非ER）、确定可靠性（ER）和空间级别的一般要求，这些要求是密封或非密封固定薄膜电阻器，在恶劣环境条件下具有高度的时间稳定性。电流变电阻器的故障率（FR）确定为60%的置信度，从每1000小时0.001%到每1000小时1.0%。设计师在高功率脉冲应用中使用这些电阻器时要小心。

MIL-PRF-55182K covers the general requirements for nonestablished reliability (non-ER), established reliability (ER), and space level that are hermetically or nonhermetically sealed fixed film resistors that have a high degree of stability with respect to time under severe environmental conditions. ER resistors have failure rates (FR) that are established at 60 percent confidence ranging from 0.001 percent per 1,000 hours to 1.0 percent per 1,000 hours. Designers are CAUTIONED on using these resistors in high power pulse applications.
