XM-BA13 Natural Barite Barium Sulfate Powder for Oil-Drilling Material Evaluation, D97 13.3 Microns

XM-BA13 is an industrial white barium sulfate powder with a natural-barite designation and an oil-drilling enquiry context. Its D97 of 13.3 microns is a defined particle criterion, while the actual chemical assay and drilling-fluid requirements need confirmation before selection.

Specify the intended drilling-fluid material role

Describe the fluid system and the actual acceptance criteria proposed for XM-BA13. A drilling direction does not establish a qualified drilling-fluid grade, so obtain the relevant product-specific specification and test evidence before assigning a role or expecting a particular fluid result.

Confirm the chemical and optical grade

Request a current committed BaSO4 assay and relevant impurity analysis for the offered powder. The whiteness range of 86–94% is a separate optical description that needs an actual grade commitment and test reference; it should not substitute for the chemical or fluid specification.

Particle assessment

Use D97 13.3 microns with the measurement method and actual distribution required by the project.

pH assessment

The 7±0.5 range needs an agreed preparation and measurement procedure.

Material documents

Confirm the natural route, chemical identifiers and product-specific safety information for the offered XM-BA13 grade.

Keep other formulation directions independently qualified

Powder coatings, paint and plastic are also identified uses, but their material trials do not establish drilling-fluid suitability. Each project should define its own matrix and acceptance tests, with any required certification supported by an applicable current document.

For the XM-BA13 drilling-material enquiry, establish the confirmed assay and relevant fluid-grade requirements before proceeding to a representative assessment. Let the documented powder specification and actual fluid-system results determine whether the proposed barite meets the project.
