About Daniel Peters

Mr. Peters has 20 years' experience in the areas of pressure vessels, piping and related pressure equipment. This has included many areas including refineries, petrochemical applications, polyethylene plants, powdered metals and food processing. He is the manager of the Pressure Vessel and High Pressure Vessel product line at Structural Integrity Associates. Mr. Peters' activities over the last twenty years have focused on the design and analysis of pressure equipment and pressure vessels specializing in high-pressure equipment. Mr. Peters spent 10 years at Autoclave Engineers focusing on the design and analysis of pressure vessels and high pressure vessels. This included both industrial and experimental custom designed equipment with pressures from 500 psi to 150 ksi. He was also responsible for the mentoring of younger engineers in the design philosophy of Autoclave, the application of finite element analysis (FEA) and the application of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code. He has worked extensively with ASME Sections II and Divisions 1, 2, and 3. The last several years while at Autoclave and during his tenure with Structural Integrity Associates, the main thrust of his work was in application of engineering principals to the in-service inspection of equipment and long term asset management. This included remaining life assessment utilizing fracture mechanics and fatigue, flaw evaluation and practical application of NDE techniques. Beginning during his tenure at Autoclave, Mr. Peters became active in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers both in the area of Codes and Standards and technology development through the Pressure Vessel and Piping Division. He has authored or coauthored several papers in this area with subject matter including cycle life of pressure vessels and high pressure components and stress concentration factors at cross-bores of cylinders. Mr. Peters became active in the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME), both in the area of Codes and Standards (S&C) and the Technical Engineering and Communities (TEC) Sector. He has served as Chair of various committees His activities have kept him as one of ASME’s most active members for over 20 years. He has been both an active and effective participant in ASME’s former Knowledge and Communities Sector, the Technical Events and Content Sector, and what is most recently called the Technical Events and Communities (TEC) Sector. He has participated as Chair of the Pressure Vessels and Piping Division,
