Barite is a weighting material possessing a specific gravity ranging from 4.2 to 4.3 It is used in all muds to increase the density or weight. Mud weights up to about 20 ppg can be obtained without incurring strains on pump equipment.

Mixing & Handling
Quantities of Barite to be used and the volume increase may be quickly determined by dividing the desired weight by 2 to give the number of sacks required per 100 barrels of mud for each 0.1 ppg increase. For each 15 sacks added there will be one barrel volume increase.
