Pressure and flow rate (volume) are linked at the hip, although they do not have a first-order relationship. The relationship between pressure and flow is a second-order relationship.
Flow increases as the square of pressure. To double the flow through an orifice, you will need to raise the pressure of the fluid pre-orifice by a factor of four (2 squared).
It is not just simplistic to say they are not related, it is wrong. They are linked at the hip.
