How much flow through a 1" drain?

Does anyone know a realistic gravity fed flow rate through a standard PVC, 1" bulkhead and drain? No overflow, just a bulkhead and a strainer?

I thought 1'' PVC would approx flow 600gph through it. I could be wrong!

Thanks Nereaga.

Anyone else agree or disagree?
