The purpose with a pipe is the transport of a fluid like water, oil or similar, and the most import property is the capacity or the inside diameter. For a ASME/ANSI B 36.10 Welded and Seamless Wrought Steel Pipe the inside diameter - ID - of a NPS 2 inches pipe with * schedule 40 is 2.067" * schedule 80 is 1.939" The inside diameters are close to 2" and the nominal diameter related to the inside diameter. Outside diameter are 2.375" for both schedules. Since the outside diameter of a single nominal pipe size is kept constant the inside diameter of a pipe will depend on the "schedule" or the thickness of the pipe. The schedule and the actual thickness of a pipe varies with the size of the pipe. It is common to identify pipes in inches by using NPS or "Nominal Pipe Size". The metric equivalent is called DN or "diametre nominel". The metric designations conform to International Standards Organization (ISO) usage and apply to all Plumbing, natural gas, heating oil, and miscellaneous piping used in buildings. The use of NPS does not conform to American Standard pipe designations where the term NPS means "National Pipe Thread Straight". Nominal Bore (NB) may be specified under British standards classifications along with schedule (wall thickness). The tolerances are looser to pipes compared with tubes and they are often less expensive to produce. The nominal dimensions of tubes are based on the outside diameter. If we look at Copper Tubes - ASTM B88 the outside diameter of a 2" pipe is 2.125", relatively close to 2". The inside diameter of a tube will depend on the thickness of the tube. The thickness is often specified as a gauge. If we look at Copper Tubes - ASTM B88 the wall thickness of 0.083"of a 2" pipe is gauge 14. The tolerances are higher with tubes compared to pipes and tubes are often more expensive to produce than pipes.
Tube is measured by outside diameter, pipe is measured by inside diameter.
NB = inside diameter of the tube. OD = outside diameter of the tube.
The first difference is actually pipe vs tubing. Pipe is measured at the inside diameter or ID vs tubing being measured at the outside diameter or OD. Dies for bending pipe and tubing are different because of the different measurements. A mandrel is pulled through tubing or pipe to keep the inner diameter constant.
Pipe, duct, conduit, hose, straw...
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.
Tube is a made up of rubber, while pipe is a round solid material.
Tube is measured by outside diameter, pipe is measured by inside diameter.
Pipes & tubes have the same purpose for fluid transfer, however Pip is measured in terms of its Internal diameter (I.D) whereas tubes are measured in terms of its Outside Diameter O.D e.g An 1 1/4 " Pipe will have 1.25" ID + Pipe thickness A 1 1/4" Tube will be its actual OD i.e 1.25
I'll answer when the poster learns to spell properly
Grooved method? Threads on the end of the pipe? There is no tube or pipe in copper with threads. You can end a copper pipe with a connection that is threaded to accept steel pipe.
A metal tube/pipe made of zirconium or a zirconium alloy.

a pipe that is a steam rolled a tube with a boll in the middle of it
trachea is the tough muscular tube It is also the wind pipe...
A tube cutter or a pipe cutter is used to cut the pipes or tubes
When a tuning fork vibrates over an open pipe and the air in the pipe starts to vibrate, the vibrations in the tube are caused by resonance.
