From semi-empirical considerations and a comparison with the equation of state (EOS) for solids in the Thomas-Fermi limit, an EOS for "ideal" solids is derived and used as reference for the discussion of EOS data for various types of real solids. It is shown that the data for Ni, Pt, and Au match the "ideal" solid behaviour very closely, while minor modifications must be applied for most of the regular metals, however, larger corrections are noticed for raregas solids on the one hand and for the covalent semiconductors on the other hand. Some representative EOS data for solids with different types of bonding are used to illustrate the implications of the present scheme.
