What is the difference between pipes and tubes?
Pipe n tube are same in shape etc. BUT only difference is Pipe is used for Transferring Material (Gas, Liquid etc.) AND where it is used for Heat Exchanging purpose , It is called TUBE.
Difference between PE and HDPE pipes?
what is the difference between the PE pipe and HDPE pipe.
What is difference OD and NB of pipe?
NB = inside diameter of the tube. OD = outside diameter of the tube.
What is difference between nominal diameter of a pipe and bore of pipe and also defined the nominal diameter of pipe and tube how you differentiate both?
bore of the pipe is the internal diameter of pipe but the nominal diameter of pipe is the dia of a circle which is draw through a point which is situates at exactly half of the thickness of pipe or we can say that (outer dia of pipe- thickness of pipe )=nominal bore of pipe.
What is the difference between rigid electrical pipe and plumbing pipe?

What is the difference between closed heat pipe and open heat pipe?
Pressure rises in the tube.
What is the difference between tubing and pipe?
The main difference between tube and pipe arises while considering the standard dimensions. The nominal sizes for pipes and tubes are determined differently. For pipes, the ID or Internal Dimension is the pipe size and for tubes the OD or Outer Dimension is considered the tube size.

What is the difference between Hose and Pipe and Tube?
A hose is usually made of plastic or rubber. A pipe, on a motor vehicle is made of metal,steel, copper , galvanised. A tube is also made of metal ,but has a much thinner wall . (ie the difference between the outer diameter and the inner diameter)
Difference between weldolet and sockolet in piping?
Weldolet has a Bevelled end to butt weld the pipe whereas in sockolet the pipe/tube goes inside it and there it is fillet welded.

What is the difference between pipe and tube fittings?
Pipe is identified by NB and thickness is defined by Schedule whereas Tube is identified by OD. For more detail about piping click here : http://pipingguide.blogspot.com/
Difference between PE and HDPE pipes?
what is the difference between the PE pipe and HDPE pipe.
What is difference OD and NB of pipe?
NB = inside diameter of the tube. OD = outside diameter of the tube.
What is the difference between conduit and pipe?
Tube and pipe are both used for conveying liquids or gases under pressure. They differ in how they are sized and their rigidity. A conduit is mainly used to protect and route electrical wiring.
