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 cm2
= Oxygen Permeability
(CO2) @370 - 0.7101 x cm2 =
Carbon Dioxide Permeability
(N2) @370 - 0.1155 x cm2
= Nitrogen Permeability
(H2O) @370 - 0.0000628 x cm2
= Water Permeability
