(1)	$\begin{array}{l}\displaystyle Z = ANN(P_{rp}, T_{pr})\end{array}$

where

$\begin{array}{l}Z\end{array}$	Z-factor
$\begin{array}{l}T\end{array}$	fluid temperature	$\begin{array}{l}T_{pr} = T/T_{pc}\end{array}$	pseudo-reduced temperature (or reduced temperature $\begin{array}{l}T_{r}\end{array}$ in case of pure substances)	$\begin{array}{l}T_{pc}\end{array}$	pseudo-critical temperature (or critical temperature $\begin{array}{l}T_{c}\end{array}$ in case of pure substances)
$\begin{array}{l}P\end{array}$	fluid pressure	$\begin{array}{l}P_{pr} = P/P_{pc}\end{array}$	pseudo-reduced pressure (or reduced pressure $\begin{array}{l}P_{r}\end{array}$ in case of pure substances)	$\begin{array}{l}P_{pc}\end{array}$	pseudo-critical pressure (or critical pressure $\begin{array}{l}P_{c}\end{array}$ in case of pure substances)

There are many implementations of ANN Z-factor correlations but most of them are represented by weight coefficients of standard perceptron.
