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 make a calibration for differential pressure?

To calibrate differential pressure, you will need a calibration instrument such as a pressure gauge or calibrator. Connect the instrument to the differential pressure device, apply a known pressure, and compare the readings from the device to the instrument. Adjust the device's output if necessary to match the known pressure applied for accurate calibration.
