Abstract
A system may include a strain gauge and a pulse detection system positionable on a fluid end of a pressure pump. The strain gauge may generate a strain signal representing strain in the chamber. The pulse detection system may include a pulse generator and a pulse detector for generating timing signals that are useable to determine a travel time of a corresponding pulse generated by the pulse generator. The strain signal and the timing signals may be useable to determine a density of the fluid in the pressure pump.
