In a bellows pump, detecting any leakage of the valves and/or bellows can be important. Disclosed embodiments may relate to a bellows pump system configured to better monitor valve and/or bellows health. For example, the bellows pump can be configured with a power end, a fluid end, an expandable bellows in fluid communication with the power end, one or more strain gauge configured to measure strain in the pump, and a control system. In embodiments, the control system may monitor valve health based on strain gauge data. Disclosed embodiments may also include one or more position sensor and/or one or more pressure sensor, which may be used to evaluate valve and/or bellows health. Related methods and systems are also disclosed.
