S.G. 4.3 BaSO4 95% Barium Sulfate Drilling Grade Barite
Barite basic information
Barite is a mineral composed of barium sulfate(BaSO4).It receives its name from the Greek word "barys" which means "heavy." This name is in response to barite's high specific gravity of 4.5,which is exceptional for nonmetallic mineral.The high specific gravity of barite makes it suitable for a wide range of industrial,medicul and manufaturing uses.Barite also serves as the principal ore of barium.
Uses of barite
Drilling Industry:The overwhelming majority of the barite that is mind is used by the petroleum industry as a weighting material in the formulation of drilling mud.Barite increases the hydrostatic pressure of the drilling mud allowing it to compensate for high-pressure zones experienced during drilling.The softness of the mineral also prevents it from damaging drilling tools during drilling and enables it to serve as a lubricant.The American petroleum Institute(API) has established specifications for the use of barite in drilling mud.
Medical Industry:An application where many people have heard of barite is within the medical field. A high-purity form of barite is used in the gastrointestinal tract where its density prevents x-tay penetration,and thus is visible on x-ray.The outline of the gastrointestinal tract thus becomes visible allowing the determination of normal and abnormal antomy.
Other Uses: Barite is also used in a wide variety of other applications including plastics,clutch pads,rubber mudflaps,mold release compounds,radiation shielding,television and computer monitors,soune-deadening material in automobiles,traffic cones,brake linings,paint and golf balls.
