Product details
Danfoss DST P40I Pressure Transmitter | 0 – 16 bar | 078G5003
Product Description: The DST P40I is part of Danfoss’s high-performance industrial sensor range, engineered to deliver a reliable 4-20 mA output signal. In the UAE’s industrial landscape—including water treatment plants in Sharjah and HVAC pumping systems in Dubai—the 078G5003 offers exceptional stability and resistance to pressure peaks. This model is specifically calibrated for mid-range pressure applications (up to 232 psi), featuring a robust stainless steel housing that withstands the high humidity and ambient temperatures typical of Middle Eastern mechanical rooms. Its ceramic sensing element provides excellent long-term stability and compatibility with a wide variety of non-corrosive media.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Mid-Range Precision: Accurate measurement from 0 to 16 bar, ideal for booster pumps and cooling water systems in the UAE.
- 4-20 mA Output: Industry-standard signal for seamless integration with UAE building management systems (BMS) and PLC controllers.
- Exceptional Durability: Designed with high vibration and shock resistance, ensuring a long service life in demanding Dubai industrial zones.
- Thermal Stability: Compensated temperature range ensures accurate readings despite the extreme thermal fluctuations in the UAE.
- Moisture Protection: Built to high IP standards to prevent ingress from condensation, common in chilled water applications in the Middle East.

FAQs:
- Q: Is the DST P40I (078G5003) suitable for potable water systems in the UAE?
- A: Yes, its stainless steel and ceramic construction make it suitable for many water applications. Always verify local UAE municipality regulations for specific potable water certifications.
- Q: How does this transmitter handle the “Water Hammer” effect in Dubai piping?
- A: The DST P40I is designed with high burst pressure limits, but for systems prone to severe surges, installing a Danfoss pulse snubber is recommended for added protection.
- Q: Does it require on-site calibration in the UAE?
- A: No, the 078G5003 comes factory-calibrated for the 0-16 bar range, allowing for immediate “plug-and-play” installation in UAE projects.
