ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

DRAFT AMENDMENT ISO 13500:2008/DAM 1

Petroleum and natural gas industries — Drilling fluid
materials — Specifications and tests
AMENDMENT 1: New Clause 20 — Barite 4.10
1 Scope
This Technical Corrigendum 1 to International Standard 13500:2008 and API Specification 13A, Specifications
for Drilling Fluid Materials, includes a newly available drilling fluid product. This corrigendum covers the
physical properties and testing of Barite 4.10. This corrigendum is prepared as an alternative to ISO 13500,
Clause 7, Barite/API Spec 13A, Section 7 and should not be interpreted as a replacement for Clause or
Section 7 Barite. This International Standard is intended for the use of manufacturers of named products.
20 Barite 4.10
20.1 Principle
20.1.1 Drilling grade barite is produced from commercial barium sulfate-containing ores. The manufacturer
shall retain certificates of analysis or similar documentation on these commercial barium sulfate ores. It may
be produced from a single ore or a blend of ores and may be a straight-mined product or processed by
beneficiation methods, i.e. washing, tabling, jigging, or flotation. It may contain accessory minerals other than
the barium sulfate (BaSO ) mineral. Because of mineral impurities, commercial barite may vary in colour from
4
off-white to grey to red or brown. Common accessory minerals are silicates such as quartz and chert,
carbonate compounds such as siderite and dolomite, and metallic oxide and sulfide compounds. Although
these minerals are normally insoluble, they can, under certain conditions, react with other components in
some types of drilling fluids and cause adverse changes in the drilling fluid properties. (See Annex A for more
details.)
20.1.2 Drilling grade barium sulfate meeting the Barite 4.10 physical and chemical specifications listed in
Table 19 is not intended to meet the requirements of performance tests described in ISO/API Standard
publications. Additionally, it is not intended to be used as a reference or calibration material as specified in
ISO/API Standard publications.
20.1.3 End users should be aware that the material described in this clause has a lower density than
ISO 13500/API 13A, Clause 7 Barite. Drilling fluid formulations should be developed to accommodate this
lower density material. Maximum practical drilling fluid density for specific formulations may be lower than
attainable with Clause 7 Barite.
20.1.4 End users should review fluids engineering calculations to determine where density differences
between Clause 20 Barite 4.10 and ISO/API Clause 7 Barite will require revisions to these calculations.
20.1.5 Barite 4.10 shall be deemed to meet the requirements of this International Standard if a composite
sample representing no more than one day's production conforms to the chemical and physical specifications
of Table 19, represents the product produced, and is controlled by the manufacturer.

20.2 Reagents and apparatus — Density by Le Chatelier flask
20.2.1 Kerosene or mineral spirits.
20.2.2 Oven, regulated to 105 °C ± 3 °C (220 °F ± 5 °F).
20.2.3 Desiccator, with calcium sulfate (CAS No. 7778-18-9) desiccant, or equivalent.
20.2.4 Le Chatelier flask, with graduations of 0,1 ml, clamped or weighted to prevent flotation in water bath.
20.2.5 Constant-temperature bath, transparent at 32 °C ± 0,5 °C regulated to ± 0,1 °C (90 °F ± 1,0 °F
regulated to ± 0,2 °F) [e.g. approximately 40-l aquarium (fish tank) with heater/circulator attachment, or
functional equivalent].
20.2.6 Balance, with accuracy of 0,01 g.
20.2.7 Pipette, volumetric, of capacity 10 ml.
20.2.8 Magnifying glass.
20.2.9 Dowel, wooden, approximately 8 mm (1/3 in) in diameter and 30 cm (12 in) in length, or a functional
equivalent.
20.2.10 Tissue paper, absorbent.
NOTE Laboratory grade tissues are non-absorbent and thus unsuitable for use in this test procedure.
20.2.11 Weighing dish, low-form, with spout, of approximately 100-ml capacity, or a functional equivalent.
20.2.12 Brush, small, fine-bristle.
20.3 Procedure — Density by Le Chatelier flask
20.3.1 Take approximately 100 g of barite 4.10 which has been oven dried for at least two hours and cooled
to room temperature in a desiccator.
20.3.2 Fill a clean Le Chatelier flask to approximately 22 mm (0,8 in) below the zero mark with kerosene.
20.3.3 Place the flask upright in the constant-temperature bath. The level of water in the bath shall be higher
than the 24-ml graduation of the flask, but below the stopper level. Assure flask is stabilized by use of clamps
or weights.
20.3.4 Allow the flask and contents to equilibrate for a minimum of 1 h. Using the magnifying glass with care
to keep eyes at meniscus level, read the volume at the lowest portion of the curved interface, and record the
initial volume to the nearest 0,05 ml) without removing the flask from the constant-temperature bath. Record
as V .
1
If the kerosene level is above or below the – 0,2 ml to + 1,2 ml volume range after equilibrating, use the 10-ml
pipette to add or remove kerosene in order for it to come within this range. Allow the flask to equilibrate at
least 1 h and record initial volume as in 20.3.4.

AMENDMENT 1: Barite 4,1
Page 82
Add the following new clause immediately after Subclause 19.8.3.
20 Barite 4,1
20.1 Principle
20.1.1 Drilling grade barite is produced from commercial barium sulfate-containing ores. The manufacturer
shall retain certificates of analysis or similar documentation on these commercial barium sulfate ores. It may
be produced from a single ore or a blend of ores and may be a straight-mined product or processed by
beneficiation methods, i.e. washing, tabling, jigging, or flotation. It may contain accessory minerals other than
the barium sulfate (BaSO ) mineral. Because of mineral impurities, commercial barite may vary in colour from
4
off-white to grey to red or brown. Common accessory minerals are silicates such as quartz and chert,
carbonate compounds such as siderite and dolomite, and metallic oxide and sulfide compounds. Although
these minerals are normally insoluble, they can, under certain conditions, react with other components in
some types of drilling fluids and cause adverse changes in the drilling fluid properties. (See Annex A for more
details.)
20.1.2 Drilling grade barium sulfate meeting the Barite 4,1 physical and chemical specifications listed in
Table 19 is not intended to meet the requirements of performance tests described in ISO and API publications.
Additionally, it is not intended to be used as a reference or calibration material as specified in ISO and API
publications.
20.1.3 End users should be aware that the material described in this clause has a lower density than Barite
as specified in Clause 7. Drilling fluid formulations should be developed to accommodate this lower density
material. Maximum practical drilling fluid density for specific formulations may be lower than attainable with
Barite as specified in Clause 7.
20.1.4 End users should review fluid engineering calculations to determine where density differences
between Barite 4,1, as specified in this clause, and Barite, as specified in Clause 7, will require revisions to
these calculations.
20.1.5 Barite 4,1 shall be deemed to meet the requirements of this International Standard if a composite
sample representing no more than one day's production conforms to the chemical and physical specifications
of Table 19, represents the product produced, and is controlled by the manufacturer.

Table 19 — Barite 4,1 physical and chemical requirements
Requirement Standard
Density 4,10 g/ml, minimum
Water-soluble alkaline earth metals, as calcium 250 mg/kg, maximum
Residue greater than 75 μm Maximum mass fraction, 3,0 %
Particles less than 6 μm in equivalent spherical diameter Maximum mass fraction, 30 %

20.2 Reagents and apparatus — Density by Le Chatelier flask
20.2.1 Kerosene or mineral spirits.
20.2.2 Oven, regulated to 105 °C ± 3 °C (220 °F ± 5 °F).
20.2.3 Desiccator, with calcium sulfate (CAS No. 7778-18-9) desiccant or equivalent.
20.2.4 Le Chatelier flask, with graduations of 0,1 ml, clamped or weighted to prevent flotation in water bath.
20.2.5 Constant-temperature bath, transparent at 32 °C ± 0,5 °C regulated to ±0,1 °C (90 °F ± 1,0 °F
regulated to ±0,2 °F) [e.g. approximately 40 l aquarium (fish tank) with heater/circulator attachment, or
functional equivalent].
20.2.6 Balance, with an accuracy of 0,01 g.
20.2.7 Pipette, volumetric, of 10 ml capacity.
20.2.8 Magnifying glass.
20.2.9 Dowel, wooden, approximately 8 mm (1/3 in) in diameter and 30 cm (12 in) in length, or a functional
equivalent.
20.2.10 Tissue paper, absorbent.
NOTE Laboratory grade tissues are non-absorbent and thus unsuitable for use in this test procedure.
20.2.11 Weighing dish, low-form, with spout, of approximately 100 ml capacity, or a functional equivalent.
20.2.12 Brush, small, fine bristle.
20.3 Procedure — Density by Le Chatelier flask
20.3.1 Take approximately 100 g of Barite 4,1 which has been oven dried for at least 2 h and cooled to room
temperature in a desiccator.
20.3.2 Fill a clean Le Chatelier flask to approximately 20 mm (0,8 in) below the zero mark with kerosene.
20.3.3 Place the flask upright in the constant-temperature bath. The level of water in the bath shall be higher
than the 24 ml graduation of the flask, but below the stopper level. Ensure flask is stabilized by use of clamps
or weights.
20.3.4 Allow the flask and contents to equilibrate for a minimum of 1 h. Using the magnifying glass with care
to keep eyes at meniscus level, read the volume at the lowest portion of the curved interface, and record the
initial volume to the nearest 0,05 ml without removing the flask from the constant-temperature bath. Record as
V .

If the kerosene level is above or below the −0,2 ml to +1,2 ml volume range after equilibrating, use the 10 ml
pipette to add or remove kerosene in order for it to come within this range. Allow the flask to equilibrate for at
least 1 h and record the initial volume as in 20.3.4.
20.3.5 Remove the Le Chatelier flask from the bath, wipe dry, and remove the stopper. Roll several lengths
of tissue paper diagonally along the length of the dowel, and use this assembly as a swab to dry the inside
neck of the flask. Do not allow the swab to come into contact with the kerosene in the flask.
20.3.6 Weigh 80 g ± 0,05 g dried Barite 4,1 into the weighing dish and carefully transfer to the Le Chatelier
flask. Take care to avoid splashing the kerosene or plugging the flask with Barite 4,1 at the bulb. This is a slow
process, requiring repeated transfers of small amounts of Barite 4,1. Use a brush to transfer any residual
Barite 4,1 into the flask, then replace the stopper. Record the mass as m.
20.3.7 If necessary, carefully tap the neck of the flask with the wooden dowel, or agitate carefully from side to
side, to dislodge any Barite 4,1 clinging to the walls. Do not allow kerosene to come into contact with the
ground glass stopper joint of the flask.
20.3.8 Gently roll the flask along a smooth surface at no more than 45° from vertical, or twirl the upright flask
at the neck vigorously between the palms of both hands, to remove entrained air from the Barite 4,1 sample.
Repeat this procedure until no more bubbles can be seen rising from the Barite 4,1.
20.3.9 Return the flask to the bath and let stand for at least 0,5 h.
20.3.10 Remove the flask from the bath and repeat 20.3.8 to remove any remaining air from the Barite 4,1
sample.
20.3.11 Immerse the flask in the bath again for at least 1 h.
20.3.12 Record the final volume in the same manner as described in 20.3.4. Record the volume as V .
