Dan Peters, P.E., Atlas Consulting, LLC
President
Mr. Peters' activities over the last thirty years have focused on the design and analysis of high-pressure equipment, including the application of fracture mechanics to the design and analysis of pressure vessels for evaluation of the life of the equipment.
Since 2021, Mr. Peters has been the chair the ASME “Hydrogen for a Green Economy Steering Committee” and works with several clients active in both production and use of hydrogen equipment.
Prior to joining Structural Integrity (SI), Mr. Peters spent 10 years at Autoclave Engineers focusing on the design and analysis of high-pressure vessels. This included both industrial and experimental custom designed equipment with pressures from full vacuum to 150 ksi (1034 MPa). 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. Mr. Peters has collaborated extensively with ASME BPV Code Sections II and VIII Divisions 1, 2, and 3 and ASME Post Construction Committees.
The last several years while at Autoclave, one area his work focused on was in application of engineering principals to the in-service inspection of equipment and fitness for service evaluations including applications of API 579-1 / ASME FFS-1 Fitness for Service Standard. 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 held several offices and positions in this capacity, largely supporting the development of high-pressure technology and has won several awards for publications in this area. Mr. Peters has authored or coauthored over 40 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 received awards for two of his papers and is a past Chair of the ASME Pressure Vessel and Piping Division. Mr. Peters is an ASME Fellow, has received the ASME Dedicated Service Award, and is the 2018 recipient of the J. Hall Taylor Award and the 2023 ASME BPV VIII Pressure Vessel Legacy Medal. He has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Penn State University and a Master of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Gannon University.
