What is the difference between tube and pipe?
Can you tell me the difference between tube and pipe?
Sure! Tube and pipe are both hollow cylinders used to transport fluids, gases or other materials. The main difference between them is in their measurements. While pipes are measured by their nominal outside diameter and wall thickness, tubes are measured by their outside diameter and wall thickness. Pipes are typically used for conveying liquids at greater pressures, while tubes are used for structural purposes and transportation of fluids at lower pressures.
