Some Differences Between Tube and Pipe
Although we are not the pipe and tube manufacturer, we make metalworking machinery on pipe and tubes, so we always got some questions from customers about the difference between tube and pipe. Here, let’s talk about some factors:
Pipe VS Tube
| Pipe VS Tube | Steel Pipe | Steel Tube |
| Shape | Round | Round, Square, Rectangle |
| Dimension | Always provided with inner diameter and wall thickness | Always provided with outside diameter and wall thickness |
| Application | Distribution of gas and fluids | Always for construction |
| Size | Normally bigger than tube | Construction and some commercial use purpose does not need large pipe |
| Tolerance | Much looser than tube | Very strict |
Before you purchase the material to produce your product, you may need to do more research. Our Mandrel tubing benders are available for copper tube bends, steel tube bends, iron tube bends, stainless steel tube bends, brass tube bends, etc. Also available for the pipe. You can contact us for more information about which is the proper metalworking machine for you.
