Brief

gas compressibility factor is the ratio of the Real Gas volume to the Ideal Gas volume, which is a measure of the amount that the gas deviates from the perfect behavior.

 z = \frac{Actual\ volume of gas at specified T and P}{Ideal volume of gas at same T and P}

Nomenclature

 P = Pressure, psia
 T = temperature, °R
 z = gas compressibility factor, dimensionless
