Below is a table outlining the treatment and bypass flow rates for several standard size filters.

Treatment and Bypass Flow Rates Peak Treatment Flow Rate (CFS) Peak Bypass Flow Rate (CFS)
GISB 12" x 12" x 12" .5 CFS .5 CFS
GISB 18" x 18" x 18" .8 CFS .8 CFS
GISB 24" x 24" x 24" 4.4 CFS 4.4 CFS
GISB 24" x 37" x 25" 10.2 CFS 8.7 CFS
GISB 36" x 36" x 25" 18.8 CFS 13.4 CFS
GISB 48" x 48" x 18" 26.3 CFS 13.3 CFS
GISB 78" x 36" x 18" 50.6 CFS 25.1 CFS

Bypass flow rate is the maximum amount of stormwater that can pass through the filter.  The stormwater will first enter the throat of the filter and then be directed to the bypass orifices.  Both the throat flow rate and bypass orifice flow rate are calculated.  The one with the lesser flow rate is the filters bypass flow rate.  The Grate Inlet Skimmer Box has very high treatment capacities.
