Liquid Canister

Liquid Canister (Smart)

Description

The Liquid Canister is used to store liquid in a similar way to the gas canister. The "standard pressure" when spawned is defined as 3807 kPa.

If you need more volume or pressure in a liquid canister, refer to the Liquid Canister (Smart).

Details

To fill the canister, place it into a Liquid Canister Storage unit connected to a liquid pipe network carrying liquid (equalizing the pressure in the network and canister). It can also be refilled by inserting it into the striped area above the Portable Liquid Tank.

If the canister is over pressurized, it will begin to take damage. When completely destroyed, the canister will rupture. creating an explosion with radius linearly proportional to pressure, up to a maximum of 10m at 2.27x its maximum pressure. The broken canister can be connected to a device afterwards but will leak gases and liquids.

Putting a non-empty liquid canister into a Recycler or Furnace will cause the liquid and gas to release. Stationeers should be careful not to put filled canisters into an indoor Recycler.
