Well, like everyone else said, I know psi is pound per square inch. I found a few things WP could stand for but I think the definition you're looking for is WP stands for working pressure. It may not apply to the topic you're talking about but I hope it helped a little.

I believe that you owe GraceB 10 glorious points for wp = working pressure. Also if you place "psi wp" (using quotes) in a search engine you will get many hits as it is a common phrase. Add working pressure (without quotes) and it will narrow your search. I used google. Good luck.
