Want this question answered?
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)
Tube is measured by outside diameter, pipe is measured by inside diameter.
Pressure rises in the tube.
A tube connector is the standard fitting that goes on a tube or hose. A tube adapter fits to a tube or hose and enables it to connect to a fitting of a different size to its standard.
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.
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.
Pipe, duct, conduit, hose, straw...
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.

A couple large hose clamps and a peice of inner tube or you can use same diameter pipe and clamp in between where the split is. If it's hard plastic maybe bondo or a fibreglass patch.
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/
NB = inside diameter of the tube. OD = outside diameter of the tube.
