I added a discussion of significance and removed what I thought was a redundancy in introduction. I think any kind of graphic could really improve this page. I did a compressibility determination for CO2 lab a while back; I could include some of the graphs I generated there. 14 June (talk) 20:01, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
I think this article could benifit greatly from an actual compressibility chart, and the only good one i have encountered is the Nelson-Obert generalized compressibility chart, which is stated as being 'used with permission of Dr. Edward E. Obert, University of Wisconsin'. If someone can find a good chart, please upload it, or maybe somebody can track down Dr. Obert and ask him to release it as he does not appear in the persons search on the universities website and mail to edwardobert@wisc.edu fails to send. powerfool 15:45, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
"The value of Z generally increases with pressure and decreases with temperature." This statement is too vague. Does Z increase with increasing pressure or decreasing pressure; and the same for temperature. the statement would seem to imply that Z increases with changing pressure regardless of wether or not the pressure is getting bigger or smaller; and the same for temperature. Specifically say if it is increasing or decreasing pressure, and increasing or decreasing temperature. Although it may be obvious from the equations for the compressibilty i feel it should still say so.128.111.34.165 (talk) 19:48, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Based on the formula, Z would increase with higher pressure and temperature. Z would then decrease with low pressure, high temperature, showing deviations from the ideal. However, doesn't a higher pressure and lower temperature (increased Z) lead to Z > 1? That seems counter-intuitive to me. MinkeyBuddy (talk) 15:16, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
Dimensions in quantum gas formulae are inconsistent. In T_r=T/(T_c+8) T_c is carrying dimensions while 8 is just a number (no dimensions). Likely to mean 8K. The same stands in P_r=P/(P_c+8), where here there is no way to assess the unit of pressure referred to that 8.
Consider "T_r=T/(T_c+b) where b=8K" and pretty much the same for the equation on P.

I think it should be clarified.--188.26.22.131 (talk) 12:19, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
I have inserted a new section giving the physical reasons why the compressibility factor varies as it does. I think this at least partially addresses the first two comments above. Also this section is linked to in the article on the Joule-Thomson coefficient (sort of, there is a silly issue with the link). Retired Pchem Prof (talk) 04:24, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

is there an english version? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.109.61.206 (talk) 15:35, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
