The isothermal equation of state of rhenium has been measured by powder X-ray diffraction experiments up to 144 GPa at room temperature in a diamond anvil cell. A helium pressure transmitting medium was used to minimize the non-hydrostatic stress on the sample. The fit of pressure-volume data yields a bulk modulus K{sub 0} = 352.6 GPa and a pressure derivative of the bulk modulus K′{sub 0}=4.56. This equation of state differs significantly from a recent determination [Dubrovinsky et al., Nat. Commun. 3, 1163 (2012)], giving here a lower pressure at a given volume. The possibility of using rhenium gasket X-ray diffraction signal, with the present equation of state, to evaluate multi-Mbar pressures in the chamber of diamond anvil cells is discussed.
