Pipes are used to transport gas. Pipes are one of the possible types of inputs/outputs from a structure (the others being Cables, Chutes, and Kit (Liquid Pipe)). Similar to other logistic elements, a contiguous pipeline (not interrupted by valves, regulators, pumps etc.) of any length and shape will constitute a unified "pipe network". This network will always have the same pressure, temperature and mixture over its entire volume. No matter at what point of the pipe you're introducing new gases into the pipe network, they will be instantly distributed over the entire pipe. Pressure and temperature will be interpolated from the present and the introduced gases to acquire the single shared value for the entire network. Machines and devices which interact with such a network through a pipe socket must be connected via pipe segment - you cannot attach them to the pipe network using other pipe-related devices or components.
You need 1x Pipe kit for every odd connection in the same grid cell, i.e. one kit for placing the basic 2-end section, one kit to add a 3rd end, and one extra for a 5-ended junction. Pipes can be uninstalled or merged using the Wrench. Uninstalling damaged pipe segments will reset their damage state. Pipes that have suffered burst due to stress can also be removed or replaced the same way, but the destroyed segment will not be recovered.
Tips
- Pipes can store some gas inside of them, which can be used with small airlocks to store gas when depressurizing
- Pipes will burst if the pressure differential between the inside pressure and outside atmosphere is greater than 60,795 kPa (60 MPa) (plus a random check to allow for short bursts over this limit)
- Pipes will be stressed (make a noise) when the pressure difference between inside and outside the pipe is greater than 48,636 kPa. This equals to 80% of the burst pressure.
- Pipes will also be stressed if a Liquid enters them.
Stress in % = 5000 x "liters of liquid" / "pipe network volume" - If a pipe bursts the rollover text will tell you why.
Variations
Can be painted individually or by the stack with Spray Can. (consumes a single 'use' of the can either way, far more efficient to paint a full stack)
Insulated
Insulated pipes stop the exchange of heat between the pipe and it's surrounding environment
