Pedro: take a look at the article I referenced. The resistance to flow is the other end of the equation! Resistance is dependent on tubing diameter, length as well as the inherent resistance to the syringe to empty. If it takes a 60 torr pressure to start plungers to move, this will obviously be subtracted from the driving pressure of the height of the column as well as specific gravity, viscosity, etc!

Sorry, I'm not sure if I'm understanding well, but the height of the column is the ONLY factor regulating the flow.
