Looks like the numbers were slightly higher.
Not an overly accurate chart to use for our applications, especially seeing how it's based on 100 feet of pipe.

For example using a 1" pipe with a pressure drop of 4 feet will give an initial entrance velocity of about 16 f/s meaning before you consider pipe friction you'll get about 2300GPH. You can calculate your friction losses by yourself but you're not going to loose much more more than 25%.
