Abstract
In general, in one aspect, the invention relates to a method for determining a system integrity of an oilfield machine operatively coupled to a magnetic drive, wherein the magnetic drive is configured to provide a controlled operational speed, comprising adjusting a control on the oilfield machine such that the oilfield machine operates at a baseline speed, recording a raw system integrity measurement while the oilfield machine is operating at the baseline speed, and calculating the system integrity using the raw system integrity measurement and a baseline system integrity measurement.
