Harald Peters – Specialist author for flow measurement technology

Brief profile

Harald Peters is a specialist author focusing on flow measurement technology and industrial sensor technology.
For many years, he has been intensively involved in flow measurement, particularly with variable area flow meters, their physical principles, measurement accuracy, standardization, and practical application in industry and technology.

On www.schwebekoerper.de/en/, he publishes in-depth technical articles, calculation aids, and technical explanations for engineers, technicians, trainees, and users in industrial practice.

Education

Harald Peters holds a degree in chemical process engineering.
His studies focused on inorganic, organic, and physical chemistry, measurement and control technology, thermal and mechanical process engineering, analytical methods, laboratory practice, and chemical reaction mechanisms.

This training formed the basis for professional activities ranging from chemical laboratories and chemical production plants to chemical plant engineering.

Professional career

After working in battery research at Varta Batterie AG and commissioning chemical production plants in Germany and abroad (Metallgesellschaft AG / Lurgi), Harald Peters has been involved in the development, manufacture, and sale of measuring and control devices for flow, temperature, pressure, and level since 1985 (including Kobold Messring , SIKA Dr. Siebert & Kühn GmbH & Co. KG).

In this industry, he has worked as a sales engineer, product manager, marketing and sales manager, and managing director, among other positions, and has acquired comprehensive knowledge of the development, application, problem solving, and marketing of measurement and control technology.

Most recently, Harald Peters was managing director of Kobold Holding Ges.m.b.H in Vienna, where he was responsible for 25 companies worldwide belonging to the Kobold Group.
Through various M&A activities, he has gained a comprehensive overview of the companies operating in the industrial sensor technology market.
He was also a member of the Foreign Trade Committee of the Frankfurt am Main Chamber of Industry and Commerce, covering a wide range of industries.
