Knowing the sustained rate of fire is useful to know for logistics and supply purposes.

It is usually much faster, although less accurate, than the sustained rate and is only used in emergency/final defensive line situations.

Vehicle mileage grew at a sustained annual rate of 10% between 1948 and 1964.

If you continuously saturate your connection, you will only get the sustained rate.

The sustained rate of fire is 200 rds/min, though.

This economy cannot withstand higher sustained rates much longer.

"Strong demand for basic chemicals and plastics continued in the second quarter as world economies maintained a moderate but sustained rate of growth."

The sustained rate of fire was therefore found to be inadequate for Naval requirements.

The guns had a sustained rate of fire of five to seven rounds per minute.

This meant his sustained rate by dog team was about 35 miles per day.
