I found this with a quick google search. Briefly reading associated pages they are suggesting this is a conservative chart, meaning they get slightly higher flow rates than this suggests.

Googled: pvc overflow chart

The chart I posted is the first image to show up. I clicked the first few links to 'fact check' the chart.

I'm pretty sure a decade or so ago there was a sticky in this forum that had it. And a 200 page discussion critiquing it.
 
Ya there used to be a sticky in here but not no more i guess i was actualy comeing here today to reference it and no more i knownit was there last year when i set uo my last system
