Coeficient of Isothermal Compressibility of Brine

The coefficient of isothermal compressibility of brine is often called
simply brine compressibility .

Brine compressibility database
The brine compressibility database is a subset of the brine volumetric
properties database, comprising only those data sets where the
coefficient of isothermal compressibility of brine (brine compressibility)
was measured and reported separately. Most of the data are from one of
two sources: Gibson and Loeffler, and Rowe and Chou. 10
