What kind of tube is a TUBE? Thank you 1
A Tube generally refers to a thin, seamless steel pipe; its nominal diameter denotes its outer diameter. It is commonly used in pipelines for instruments and auxiliary systems, with clamping fittings and threads being the most common methods of connection. A pipe generally refers to a thick process pipeline; its nominal diameter is not equal to its inner or outer diameter, and it is most often connected using flanges or welding.
In the design of instrument pressure tubes, British-style tubes are referred to as TUBE tubes; for example, 1/2 O.D. refers to a stainless steel tube with an outer diameter of 1/2 inch.
Tube means pipe; what do you want to say?
Broadly speaking, PIPE tubes are a subset of TUBE tubes; PIPE tubes have standardized outer diameters and wall thicknesses, while TUBE tubes have their outer diameters and wall thicknesses specified directly
