In pump discharge pressure calculations, PDP stands for which term?

• A. Pump Discharge Pressure.
• B. Pumping Differential Pressure.
• C. Discharge Pressure Parameter.
• D. Pressure Drop Point.

Answer: (A)

PDP stands for Pump Discharge Pressure, the pressure on the discharge side of the pump. This value is what the pump must develop to push fluid through the downstream piping and components, and it’s used in calculations to determine the required pump head by accounting for suction pressure, elevation differences, and losses in the system. In practical terms, PDP is the discharge pressure you’d measure at the pump outlet or at a point just after the pump, before any significant downstream devices. Other phrases aren’t standard terminology for this pressure, so they don’t represent the same concept.
