    Pipes and tubes have some key differences in their definitions and properties. Pipes are defined based on their internal diameter and wall thickness specified in schedules, while tubes are defined by their outside diameter and exact wall thickness. Pipes typically have a round cross-section, larger dimensional ranges, and less strict tolerances than tubes. Tubes can have round, rectangular, or square cross-sections and have a narrower dimensional range with very strict tolerances. Production of pipes generally has higher yields, larger lots, and shorter delivery times than tubes.

    DIFFERENCE

    BETWEEN PIPE AND TUBE (SUMMARY)

    FEATURE PIPE TUBE


    Is related to the internal size, which expresses the fluid
    conveyance capacity. Diameter is expressed in NPS (nominal Refers to the outside diameter, i.e. the OD (outside diameter). The
    Diameter pipe size) or DN (nominal diameter). NPS doesn't match with measure represents the actual, or true, outer size of the tube. The
    the true internal diameter in inches, the index is a loose and actual physical diameter match exactly the OD size.
    approximate indication of the actual measure.
    Thickness of pipes is expressed in schedule (most common are
    Wall thickness (mm or inch or gauges). Gauge measures (BWG or
    Sch 40, Sch STD., Sch. XS/XH, Sch. XXS - but other schedules
    Wall thickness SWG) are used for thinner wall thicknesses, whereas larger
    are possible, such as 5, 10, 20, 30, 60, 100, 120, 140, 160). The
    measures are expressed with fractional or inch indexes.
    actual thickness of a given schedule varies by NPS.
    Section shape Round only Round, rectangular, squared
    Dimensional range Extensive (up to 80 inch and above) Rather narrow both in terms of OD and thickness
    Very strict. Production process is generally lenghty and involves
    Tolerances (stainghtness,
    Set but not too restrictive. many quality checks around key dimensional parameters such as
    dimensions, roundness, etc)
    straightness, roundness, wall thickness, surface, etc.
    Low yield and small lots (due to relatively small dimensions and
    High yield (tons / hour) and large lots. Pipes are produced on
    Mills productivity cumbersome inspection and quality control procedures throughout
    large scale according to highly productive processes.
    the manufacturing process)
    Delivery time Can be short Generally longer
    Higher due to productivity, strict tolerances, inspection
    Market price Relatively lower price than steel tubes
    requirements, ...
    Most common is carbon (API 5L, ASTM A106 / A53) and low
    Materials From alloy steel upwards (ASTM A209, A213)
    alloy steels (ASTM A335)
    Joint connections Laborious to ensure duration Quick (threaded ends, couplings, etc).
