Top Filling Drill Pipe

Dear colleagues

With regards to Top Filling Drill Pipe and tripping in hole, at what rate (gpm) is fluid typically pumped into the empty drill pipe? 

I know usually the string will have floats with the auto-fill feature and I am specifically asking how the pipe is filled and at what rate when there is a closed end and auto - filling is not possible.

Thanks in advance

Dustin
