Follow the formula in the standards.

29.83 x hydrant coefficient x pumper modification x diameter x diameter x sqrt 
(pitot pressure)

Keep it all simple. No need to overcomplicate everything.

There are even several apps to put in your phone to do this stuff.
Keep it all simple.

Say it's a 2.5" butt (small, smooth and well rounded my personal favorite) so 
C=.9.

((2.5/24) ^2) * PI = .034 ft^2.
.034 * .9 = .0307 ft^2.

Say pitot = 30 PSI.
30/.433=69.284 ft (h).
v=(2gh)^.5=(2*32.2*69.284)^.5=69.8 ft/sec.
.0307 ft^2 * 69.8 ft/sec = 2.05 ft^3/sec, * 7.48 * 60 = 920 GPM.

That's not too shabby!
