Barite (BARIUM) Introduction Barite is a mineral composed of barium sulfate, BaSO 4. It is usually colorless or milky white, but can be almost any color, depending on the impurities trapped in the crystals during their formation. Barite is relatively soft, measuring 3-3.5 on Moh's scale of hardness. It is unusually heavy for a non-metallic ...
Read more...The API has designated size ranges for particulate material in drilling muds. Sand is defined as particles larger than 74 microns (200 mesh). Particles in the 2 to 74 micron range are called silt. API barite and API hematite have size specifications set by API Spec. 13A (see table 1).
Read more...BARITE (API) is ground to such a particle size that a minimum of 97% will pass through a 200 mesh screen and a maximum of 25% will be less than 6 microns at a specific gravity of 4.20. Application BARITE (API) is a cost effective means of increasing and/or maintaining drilling fluid density.
