The B flat tuba ... the tubing, if laid out flat would equal about 18 feet in length.
The Giant Tuba, was made in the early 20th century by Besson, London. The Giant Tuba has over 34 feet of tubing, weighs 112 pounds, and is nearly 8 feet tall.See related link for a picture.
no, a Bb tuba is 36 feet long if uncoiled.
The modern family of brass instruments can be broken into valved brass instruments (trumpet, horn, euphonium, tuba) and slide brass instruments (trombone). Brass instruments could also be broken up into Cylindrical bore (constant diameter tubing like the trumpet and trombone) and Conical bore (increasing diameter tubing like the horn, euphonium, and tuba).
standard BBb lengths (approximations) Open 18 ft 1st valve 19.07 ft (1.07 ft added) 2nd valve 20.21 ft (2.21 ft added) 3rd Valve 21.41 ft (3.41 ft added) Total length of all tubing (all valves down or the tuba is unraveled) approximately 26.49 ft
The tuba is made of around 16 feet of tubing and commonly has three or four valves.

Assuming you mean "tuba" and assuming you mean "why does the tuba play lower notes than the trumpet," the basic answer is, because the tuba is longer (it has more tubing).
The Contra-bassoon is 18 feet of tubing and can produce a lower pitch than a tuba, but is a rare instrument and I am not 100 percent sure it produces the lowest sound of any musical instrument.

Larger (longer and wider) pipes have a lower resonant frequency than smaller ones. The typical "trumpet" (which is often actually a cornet) plays about two octaves higher than a typical tuba.
12 to 13 feet of metal tubing
