About Bentonite

We at R.k Minerals are supplying various kind of Bentonite which are used in various industries for their specific needs. We source our material from mining with latest machinery and experts in the field of mining.

Bentonite

API 13A Sec9

Sr no Parameters API 13 A SECTION 9
1 Viscometer dial reading at 600 rpm 30 min
2 YP / PV Ratio 3 max
3 API Fluid Loss 15 ml max
4 Residue > 75 µm 4% max

Advantages:

  • Bentonite extracts the drill cutting from around the bit which is then floated to the surface.
  • Bentonite seals the drill hole against seepage and prevents wall cavities and leakages.
  • Bentonite (Drilling mud) served to cool and lubricate the drillbit.
  • Bentonite form slurry with leakages that is pumped through drill stem and out through drillbit.

Application:

  • Drilling mud (gel) is crucial in the extraction of drill cutting during the drilling processes.
  • Drilling mud (gel) is a major component in well drillingprocess.
  • Another conventional use of bentonite is as a mud constituent for oil and water well drilling. Its roles are mainly to seal the borehole walls, to remove drill cuttings and to lubricate the cuttinghead.

Note:

  • The entire test carried out as per IS Standards.
