What is pump discharge line?

A pump discharge line is the piping system that transports the fluid from the outlet of a pump to the intended destination, such as a storage tank, process equipment, or distribution system. It is designed to handle the pressure and flow generated by the pump, ensuring efficient and safe movement of the fluid. Proper sizing and material selection for the discharge line are critical to prevent issues like pressure loss, leaks, or system failure. Additionally, fittings and valves may be included in the discharge line to control flow and facilitate maintenance.
