Abstract
An equation of state is studied in which the second and third virial coefficients are calculated theoretically and an empirical expression is used for the fourth virial coefficient. It is shown that this equation of state describes the experimental data on the compressibility of nonpolar gases for T ⩾ 0.7TB and ρ⩽ 0.8pcr.
