Abstract
A monitoring system may include a strain gauge, a position sensor, and a torque sensor. The strain gauge may measure strain in a chamber of the pressure pump and generate a strain signal representing the strain measurement. The position sensor may measure a position of a rotating member and generate a position signal representing the position measurement. The torque sensor may measure torque in a component of the pressure pump and generate a torque signal representing the torque measurement. The torque measurement may be used with the strain measurement and the position measurement to determine a condition of the pressure pump.
