Riteks Oil Drilling Fine Grade GlassDrill Ball Bearings are engineered to optimize drilling efficiency in challenging environments, particularly in deviated holes where friction and torque can be significant obstacles. These finer-grade glass spheres act as micro ball bearings, offering even more precise control in reducing friction between the drill string and the wellbore. The fine grade is particularly effective in creating a smooth, lubricating layer, leading to lower torque requirements, smoother drilling, and reduced wear on equipment. Made from transparent, high-quality soda lime glass, these fine GlassDrill Ball Bearings are free of pits and air bubbles, ensuring consistent performance. Chemically inert, they do not alter the properties of the mud system, making them ideal for maintaining the integrity of the drilling fluid while enhancing operational efficiency.

APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
Riteks™ Fine Grade GlassDrill Ball Bearings are precisely engineered with a U.S. Sieve size of 170-325 mesh, ensuring afiner particle size for specialized drilling applications. These beadsexhibit exceptional roundness, with a minimum of 90% truespheres, providing superior performance in reducing friction. With a specific gravity of approximately 2.50 g/cc and a Mohs hardness of 5 to 6, they are both durable and reliable under demanding conditions. Additionally, the fine-grade GlassDrill beads offer a compressive strength of at least 30,000 psi, making them ideal for high-pressure environments.
