Why this differs from similar rows?

From run 2 (enstatite single crystals, flux method); V0 was fitted per run while K0 and K' were fixed to Mao et al. [1991] values, so only V0 differs from sibling run 1.

Evidence from the paper

The V0 of run 1 and run 2 was 162.32 Å3 and 162.19 Å3, respectively. ... we assume that K300,0 = 261 GPa, K'300,0 = 4, and α300,0 = 1.7 x 10-5 K-1 in the least squares fitting.
