Water Bulk Modulus vs. Pressure

Hi everyone,

I'm having a bit of trouble finding a graph or table showing the change of bulk modulus of water with pressure. I have some limited data from the Roymech website, which gives the change of bulk modulus with pressure up to 200bar, but I need to extend the data further than this, say up to 2000bar. The roymech data suggests that it is virtually a linear relationship, so I could just extrapolate up to 2000bar; however, i'd rather not make the assumption that I can just extrapolate it linearly.

Does anyone have a link or reference that I could use which has more detail on how water's bulk modulus varies as pressure increases? Ideally I'm looking for a table like the one on roymech but up to higher pressures.

Many thanks
