If you're seeing gas coming out of your airlock, then that means that your beer is holding the maximum amount of CO2 it can at that temperature and pressure, and the rest is coming out of solution and pushing its way out the airlock. That is why you can make a somewhat universal claim about how much CO2 is in the beer, assuming room temp and 1 atmosphere of pressure.
