docs(api): Update listed pipette flow rates (#17367)
# Overview The API docs section on [default pipette flow rates](https://docs.opentrons.com/v2/pipettes/characteristics.html#pipette-flow-rates) shows inaccurate flow rates. The parent page/file is `characteristics.rst`. This updates that table based on the flow rate data provided in these 2 JIRA issues: - RTC-667 - RESC-375 Both include a list of default flow rates. Excluding 20 uL tips because those are not available yet. ## Test Plan and Hands on Testing Check the updated table to make sure it reflects the correct default flow rates. ## Changelog Change updates and revised the table that lists flow rates for various pipette and tip combinations. Minor text changes in section text. ## Review requests See RTC-667 for a list of flow rates. I think I've got these reproduced correctly. ## Risk assessment Low. Docs change only. Minor table and text change in a single section.

Flex Pipette Flow Rates

Flex pipette flow rates depend on pipette volume and tip capacity. Each pipette–tip combination has a default flow rate for aspirating, dispensing, and blowing out liquid. When using a 50 µL pipette, you should only use 50 µL tips.

Additionally, all Flex pipettes have a well bottom clearance of 1 mm for aspirate and dispense actions.

The following table provides data on the default aspirate, dispense, and blowout flow rates (in µL/s) for Flex pipettes. Default flow rates for each pipette-tip combination are the same across all three actions.
