Evidence from the paper

Room-temperature data of Al-bearing phase D obtained up to 20.5 GPa were fitted to a third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state using least-squares fitting with the EosFit program (Angel, 2001), which yielded V0 = 86.71 Å3 (fixed), K_T0 = 143 (5) GPa, and K_T0' = 5.8 (7).

0-21 GPa (data to 20.5 GPa)
note
V0 fixed to XRD value at room P-T; Table 1 lists this fit as K_T0 = 143 (4) GPa, 5.8 (7); ambient lattice parameters a = 4.8077(4) Å, c = 4.3218(6) Å, V = 86.51(1) Å3
