I'm not sure any actually remains in them if they're connected to a container with the capacity for the fluid. I think they just take on the appearance of having the liquid in them once it is the first time. Since they technically have an infinite capacity.
Like in real life, RC pipes can never be completely emptied, as they are driven by fluid pressure, which drops to zero as the level approaches zero. At best, you can reduce the level to something like 4mB per block, small enough that cost and loss are not really a concern.To get it out of the container aka a reservoir I just put the pipe under the reservoir. I'm not quite sure then. @Reika Do you have any idea, and please don't eat me...
Just to clarify, this is for v25 and I suppose above as I will be moving into that soon-ish
The pipe pump is for "helping" the fluid flow; rather than transferring a portion of the difference between pipe blocks, as is normal, it transfers 100% of the contents of the input pipe to the output pipe. Used in chains, you can use them to ensure more than 98% of the fluid you produce at the source makes it to the destination, rather than about 25% of it.
Thank you Reika!
Edit: Do you put them directly against each other or inbetween fluid pipes so pump->pipe->pump->pipe. or ->pump->pump->pump->machine
Note that pipe pumps also work on ReC steam lines.
EDIT:
You cannot chain pumps directly, nor would you want to. Each has a minimum power of 4kW at 4096 rad/s.
