And I have never heard of "US Steel Engineers Handbook for real gases". What is the ISDN # and publisher?

The chart of volumetric, compressibilty of gases, should be found in the following books.

Thermodynamic Properties and Reduced Correlations for Gases, Vol. 22
Lawrence N. Canjar,Francis S. Manning
ISBN: 0835783472

Thermophysical Properties of Gases and Liquids
Viktor A. Rabinovich
ISBN: 0608304026

I would verify that these charts are included these books before purchasing. It is my understanding that this chart is included in most periodicals relating to gas properties. At the present time I cannot verify the author and or ISBN# of the handbook mentioned.

I don't need a chart for the compressibility of gases. What I was addressing is the fact that I can not find a reference of the handbook you mentioned. And I am wondering about the second term you used for the gas at 3180 psig.

Compressibility factors can be determined using the second virial coefficient, B, through the relation:

Z = 1 + (P/RT)*B
Where:
Z= compressibility factor
P = pressure
R = universal gas constant
T = Temperature

Values of B as a function of temperature are given in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics on pages 6-25 to 6-44 (81st Edition). For a discussion of various methods of estimating compressibility, see Reid, R.C., Prausnitz, J.M., and Poling, B.E., "The Properties of Gases and Liquids, Fourth Edition", Chapter 3. McGraw-Hill, New York, 1987.

It was what my P-Chem teacher referred to as the STP's fudge factor! They know it does it, but it is terribly hard to quantify, and that drives em crazy. Good chemistry, Omar. Its been a long time since I had to deal with it. At least you don't have to factor in super-cooled gasses. Hey, somone pass me the l-O2... I need a hit!
