Abstract
A sensor assembly is used with a submergible pumping system within a wellbore. The sensor assembly is an integral part of the string of submergible components that form the submergible pumping system. One embodiment of the sensor assembly utilizes a sensor for detecting the axial downthrust load acting on the shaft of a submergible pump. The downthrust load can be used to determine, for instance, flow rate through the submergible pump.
