What is the equivalent of 6 gpm hydraulic flow at 2200 psi when the pressure is 2000 psi?
I have a hydraulic pump which is rated at 6 US gpm at 2200 psi. I'd like to power a hydraulic motor which calls for 10 gpm at 2000 psi. Is the hydraulic flow sufficient to run the motor? What will happen if its not? Will it just operate slower or will it produce less than rated torque?

Are you sure your pressure amounts or units are correct? Those pressures are HUGE, especially for such tiny flows.
If by rated at 6 GPM means that's the maximum, then no.
There is no direct equivalent. You will need look at the pump's operating curve to see if 10 GPM is in its operating range. If not, you must use use a pump that has it.

you need to look at the pump curve supplied by the manufacturer to see if the pump will provide that flow at that pressure. I expect that the motor will produce less power if you can not meet the specifications.
