This review provides an overview of experimental results involving ultrasonic parameters as a function of absolute hydrostatic pressure in organic liquids. Major topics of discussion include the pioneering work of Litovitz and Carnevale involving deduction of the chemical and structural properties of liquids from acoustical properties as a function of pressure; modern general ultrasonic studies of a broad range of organic liquids; work accomplished by Russians and others from the former Soviet block countries, particularly the work headed by Otpuschennikov at the Kursk Pedagogical Institute; the studies involving refrigerants published by Takagi at the Kyoto Institute of Technology; tribological and petroleum industry studies related to oils; Brillouin scattering experiments; and thermodynamic methods of B/A measurement. The importance of ultrasonic parameters as a function of pressure to the understanding of a variety of processes is highlighted. A table of 325 liquids and liquid mixtures with a total of 366 entries indexed by chemical name is provided. Publications involving a specific liquid are cited within the table under the entry for that liquid, with the author's name, aim of the study (e.g., speed of sound or absorption studies), methodology, and pressure/temperature ranges of the experimentation also given (197 references). ©2003 American Institute of Physics.
