You will note that the permeability changes greatly with change in temperature.

To calculate the amount of gas that will enter or exit your particular bag at 37 degrees Celsius use this formula:  

Permeability Chart Computation

    (O2) @370  -  0.3079 x cm = Oxygen  Permeability

 (CO2) @370  -  0.7101 x cm= Carbon Dioxide Permeability

    (N2) @370  -  0.1155 x cm = Nitrogen Permeability 

 (H2O) @370  -  0.0000628 x cm= Water Permeability
