Ian says the ID was 2mm.  But I still don't buy it.  You could easily get 1 pint through a 2mm opening in less than a minute using just gravity, let alone high pressure. 

 

Back in college I could calculate the pressure required. But I'm much dumber now.

You’re still pretty smart though.  I happened to have a 1 ft length of ¼” tube handy; and little funnel, a connector tube, and a pint jar.  A pint ran through in about 30 seconds with about a 2 ft head above it.

 

We can always hope that our increase in dumbness can be offset by increased wisdom – you think?
