Abstract
An analysis system may determine a discharge pressure or a suction pressure using a single measurement sensor coupled to a computing device. The measurement sensor may include a pressure sensor or a strain sensor. In some aspects, the pressure sensor may generate a pressure signal representing the total pressure in a chamber of the pressure pump. The computing device may apply an envelope filter to the pressure signal to determine the discharge or suction pressure in the chamber from the pressure signal. In other aspects, the strain sensor may generate a strain signal representing the strain in the chamber. The computing device may determine the discharge or suction portions of the strain signal and may correlate the portions with a predetermined internal pressure for the pressure pump to determine the discharge or suction pressure in the chamber.
