The mass attenuation coefficients of barite concrete have been measured using X-ray attenuation for different thicknesses of barite concrete qualities of the ISO.
The proportion is higher than the general Portland cement, up to 4.7 ~ 5.2. The intensity label is 325 ~ 425. Because of the heavy ratio of barium cement, it can be prepared with heavy aggregates (such as barite) to form uniform and dense X-ray proof concrete. Barite mortar is a kind of mortar with large bulk density and blocking effect on X-ray.
