Depending on the applicable standard, pipe and tubing are
dissimilar in the sense that, a tube may have common wall
thickness irrespective of the pipe diameter for example a 2"
tube and a 3" tube would probably have a common wall
thickness of say 1.8mm whereas on the other hand a pipe,
will have varying wall thickness for different pipe
diameters( depending on its schedule, sch10, sch 40 etc ).
The varying wall thickness is such that the particular pipe
in question maintains its schedule rating irrespective of
the size. Tubes are not pressure rated and are generally
used in the food and beverage industry. Refer to Dairy
Tubing. Schedule Piping on the other hand is used primarily
in the process industry where particular pressure vessel
codes are applicable such as ASME B31.3
