The disclosure relates to supercritical machining fluid systems and methods for machining using supercritical machining fluid. A supercritical machining fluid source contains supercritical machining fluid and is in fluid communication with an outlet. One or more upstream sensors are configured to sense one or more parameters of the supercritical machining fluid upstream from the outlet and one or more downstream sensors are configured to sense one or more parameters of at least one flow of the supercritical machining fluid flowing out of the at least one outlet downstream from the at least one outlet. A state of the supercritical machining fluid upstream of the outlet may be determined and whether supercritical machining fluid flows from the outlet may be determined. One or more machining processes may be controlled based at least in part on the determined state of the supercritical machining fluid and flow of the supercritical machining fluid.
