What is the difference between Pipe & TUBE?..

Answer / krishna

A pipe is a vessel - a tube is structural.
A pipe is measured ID - a tube is measured OD.
tube will have a consistent OD and it's ID will change.
Engineers see tubes and pipes with different eyes.
A tube is structural.
By having a consistent OD they can vary wall
thickness, changing the ID, to increase strength. Because
they are consistent OD, they have predictable
characteristics.

What is the difference between Pipe & TUBE?..

Answer / shah rakesh g.

Tube is defined by its OD and Pipe is defined by NB(Nominal
bore)and thickness as schedule.

Tube OD is calculated in MM as (OD in inch * 25.4)but for
pipe upto 14" will not be calculated as (pipe NB * 25.4)
because upto 14" NB pipe the pipe OD will be higher than
calculated as (pipe NB * 25.4).Above 14" the pipe OD will
be calculated as (PIpe NB * 25.4)
