By comparing acoustic velocities in fluid metals over a very wide range of densities we have established Birch's Law as an approximate representation over the entire liquid range. For a given liquid metal the acoustic velocity is close to linear in density, with a slope determined by the atomic weight. The measurements include isobaric expansion to less than half normal density, ultrasonics on molten metals at 1 atmosphere, and shock-melted metals to greater than twice normal density. We also find unusual behavior of the Gruneisen gamma, which can be explained in terms of simple fluid models. 15 refs
