I do not know about throttle bodies , but auto makers and after market 
carbs are flowed at different  depressions. For carbs I know there are 2 
standards that they are flowed at.One is used for OEM ,to test real 
world street use and the other is for all out performance testing . 
There is also  a formula on one of the after mark sites to convert from 
one to the other.
  Going back to the first topic ,if you find a chart of flow rates ,you 
will have to check if the data was all done at the same depression.
