So, 5.67 x 4 x 4 x 3.16 or so.
287 gpm
16,680 per hour. The bethanddevans chart shows 1,012 per minute. So this formula is considerably less if my math is correct.
Is it 5.67 x (diameter squared) or (5.67 x diameter) squared.
I assumed the former. The second interpretation would give 1,625 gpm so much higher.
