"Mark's Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers" eight edition, has a
compresibility table of Water!

It also has

"Compressiblity of Liquids"

"If v1 and v2 are the volumes of the liquids at pressures of p1 and p2 atm,
respectively, at any temperature, the coefficient of compressiblity b is given
by the equation

    1     v1-v2
b= --- X -------
    v1    p2-p1

"If the value of bx10 to the sixth for oils at low pressures at about 70
degreesF varies from about 55 to 80; for mercurey at 32 degrees F, it is 3.9;
for chloroform at 32 degrees F, it is 100 and increases with the temperature to
200 at 140 degrees F; for ethyl alcohol, it increases from about 100 at 32
degrees F and low pressures to 125 at 104 degrees F; for glycerin, it is about
24 at room temperature and low pressure."
