The maximum flow rate through a bed of filter media (''Q<sub>max, media</sub>'', m<sup>3</sup>/s) may be calculated:
<math>Q_{max, m}=K_{m}\times A_{p}\times \left (\frac{h_{max}}{d_{m}} \right )\times 3.6\times 10^{6}</math>
<math>Q_{max, media}=\frac{K_{m}\times A_{p}\times \left (\frac{h_{max}}{d_{m}} \right )}{3.6\times 10^{6}}</math>
