Let me differentiate first between design pressure and mechanical design pressure. Design (or discharge) pressure is the pressure at the outlet of the pump, the pressure you've designed the pump to deliver. The mechanical design pressure is a value that the pump casing and downstream piping have to be able to withstand as a minimum*.

I presume you mean design pressure as discharge pressure. In this case, differential pressure is the difference between the discharge pressure and the suction pressure (the pressure at the inlet of the pump**).

* this is calculated taking into account that a pump would be working against a 'blocked discharge' or a closed valve in the outlet piping

** imagine a reservoir filled with liquid

How do you convert a differential pressure of 43 psi to absolute units?

Let's assume one of the inlet ports is at atmospheric pressure, Absolute pressure = atmospheric pressure + differential pressure = 14.7psi + 43psi = 57.7 psi


No differential pressure?

In a filter dust collector,if the differential pressure is 0 may be the air exhaust fan is not functioning or the suction pipe is clogged.
