Default How much will a standard NX valve flow?

Just like the title says. How much will a standard NX bottle valve flow? I'm going to try to spray a 250 shot this weekend.

The NX standard valve is used on Nozzle systems up to 800HP. They are suppose to be coming out with a 45' discharge with gauge ports this fall.

-4an or -6an is the bottle neck. A 4an line will NOT flow 800hp

The flow was on the large -6 line and a 15lb bottle. The bottle was dead after the fact. Pressure fall was pretty mean, but it did it. The -4 line I used flow 425hp again 15lb bottle. Keep in mind that there has to be a 90' or 45' fittings. Everthing has to be as straight as possible.

that sounds pretty iffy to me, but I don't know the exact numbers so I can't argue.

Anyone have the volumetric flow formulas figured out?
