Do you know how to calculate the flow rate of a hydraulic pump?

There are two terms: theoretical flow rate and actual flow rate.

The theoretical flow rate is calculated under ideal conditions:

Theoretical Flow = Displacement × Speed

Multiply these values to obtain the theoretical flow rate, commonly expressed in L/min.

Displacement is the volume of fluid delivered per revolution, usually in mL/rev or cm³/rev.

Speed is the pump shaft speed, in rpm or r/s.
