Methods, systems, and apparatus for a gate valve including a body, a stem, and a sensing bore. A subassembly includes a body, a stem, and a sensing bore; a bonnet contacting the body; and at least one of a vein and a plug in the sensing bore. 1. A gate valve comprising:a body;a stem; anda sensing bore defined in the stem.2. The gate valve of claim 1 , further comprising a top cover claim 1 , wherein the top cover defines an adapter bore.3. The gate valve of claim 2 , wherein the adapter bore is in fluid communication with the sensing bore of the stem.4. The gate valve of claim 2 , further comprising a bushing positioned between the stem and the top cover claim 2 , the bushing defining at least one radial bore and a bushing annulus.5. The gate valve of claim 4 , wherein the sensing bore includes an axial portion and a radial portion.6. The gate valve of claim 5 , wherein the stem defines a shaft annulus such that the sensing bore claim 5 , the shaft annulus claim 5 , the radial bore claim 5 , the bushing annulus claim 5 , and the adapter bore define a flow path.7. The gate valve of claim 1 , further comprising a gate claim 1 , the gate defining an actuation bore claim 1 , the stem interacting with the actuation bore.8. The gate valve of claim 7 , wherein the actuation bore is in fluid communication with the sensing bore.9. The gate valve of claim 8 , wherein the actuation bore is in fluid communication with a fluid bore defined in the body of the gate valve when the gate is in an open position.10. The gate valve of claim 7 , wherein the gate is an encapsulated disc.11. The gate valve of claim 1 , further comprising a bonnet contacting the body.12. The gate valve of claim 1 , further comprising at least one of a vein and a plug in the sensing bore.13. The gate valve of claim 12 , wherein the vein is in the sensing bore claim 12 , the vein including a bore claim 12 , the bore allowing measurement of fluid inside the gate valve.14. A method of sensing an aspect of a ...
