A system for monitoring a fluid end of a high pressure pump. The system is configured to receive, with a fluid end data logger attached to the fluid end, fluid end data from a plurality of sensors associated with the fluid end, and a fluid end identifier associated with the fluid end; tag, with an electronic processor in the fluid end data logger, the fluid end data with the fluid end identifier; store, with a memory coupled to the electronic processor, the tagged fluid end data; send, with a transceiver in the fluid end data logger, the tagged fluid end data to a power end; and receive, with the transceiver in the fluid end data logger, a power end data from the power end, the power end data including a power end identifier.

Systems and methods for fluid end monitoring

A fluid end of a pump includes a casing defining a plurality of working spaces that each include an inlet bore, an outlet bore, a plunger bore, and a valve cover bore. The bores define a cross bore intersection space, and an inlet bore transition area at the intersection of the inlet bore and the cross bore intersection space. A first V-shaped groove and a second V-shaped groove are formed adjacent the inlet bore transition area with each extending partially around the inlet bore axis. An inlet spring retainer includes first and second engagement portions and is orientable in a first orientation in which the retainer is movable from the inlet bore to the plunger bore and a second orientation in which the retainer engages the first and second V-shaped grooves to inhibit movement of the retainer from the inlet bore to the cross bore intersection space.
