where

\rho_r = \frac{0.27\ P_{pr}}{{z\ T_{pr}}}

P_{pr} = \frac{P}{P_{pc}}

T_{pr} = \frac{T}{T_{pc}}

To solve the Dranchuk equation use the iterative secant method.

To find the pseudo critical properties given the gas specific gravity^[1]:

P_{pc} = 4.6+0.1\ SG_g-0.258\ SG^2_g

T_{pc} = 99.3+180\ SG_g-6.94\ SG^2_g

Application range:

0.2 \ll P_{pr} < 30 ; 1.0 < T_{pr} \ll 3.0

P_{pr} < 1.0 ; 0.7 < T_{pr} \ll 1.0
