## Description

The **Liquid Canister** is used to store liquid in a similar way to the [gas canister](/wiki/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)](/wiki/liquid-canister-smart).

## Details

To fill the canister, place it into a [Liquid Canister Storage](/wiki/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](/wiki/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](/wiki/recycler) or [Furnace](/wiki/furnace) will cause the liquid and gas to release. Stationeers should be careful not to put filled canisters into an indoor Recycler.
