Pressure corrections for fluid-inclusion homogenization temperatures based on the volumetric properties of the system NaCl--H/sub 2/O

Abstract

A series of pressure correction diagrams for 1-, 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, and 25-percent NaCl solutions was generated from the volumetric data for NaCl by R.W. Potter II and D.L. Brown in 1975. The diagrams cover the temperature range from 20/sup 0/ to 400/sup 0/C at pressures up to 200 megapascals (2000 bars). These data can be used to correct fluid-inclusion homogenization temperatures for pressures greater than the liquid-vapor pressure-temperature curve.
