The standard formula to calculate flow(GPM - gallons per minute) from a CIRCULAR orifice is:

29.7 * (the square root of the pressure) * (the square of the diameter of the flow orifice)

EXAMPLE using 3/4" Pex Pipe(actual I.D. of 3/4 PEX Pipe is .677") and 40 PSI pressure:

29.7 * 6.325(sq. root of 40) * .458(the square of the I.D. 3/4" pipe) =

A GPM of 86.03

Note: You also need to account for fittings in the loss calculations; while minimal several fitting will make a difference.
