We report our analysis of X-ray spectra of the Seyfert galaxy IRAS 18325-5926 (=Fairall 49) obtained from various X-ray observatories prior to XMM-Newton, including new results from two RXTE and one BeppoSAX observations. A relatively steep continuum slope (photon-index of ~2.2) in the 2-15 keV band is confirmed. The continuum spectrum observed with the BeppoSAX PDS shows a possible roll-over at energies above 30 keV, indicating a Comptonizing corona cooler than in other Seyfert nuclei. The X-ray spectrum above 2 keV is best explained with a model including reflection from a highly ionized disk with significant relativistic blurring. The iron K-alpha emission feature is then mainly due to FeXXV. The recent seven observations shows that the iron K emission flux appears to follow the continuum between the observations separated by a few months to years, although some exceptions suggest that the line strength may be determined in a more complex way.
