Different Applications Between Steel Pipe and Tube
People always confused about when to use description of steel pipe, when to use steel tube. Moreover, you must met the situation that from different country different area, some call it pipe where some other call tube, actually for the same thing. And since they are looks like the same products, round shape, hollow in the middle, material in steel metals. Here we are talking about the different applications between steel pipe and tube.
Pipe has been widely applied in fluids transporting systems, oil and gas industries, thermal and high pressure services.
As pipe emphasize the function of transporting media which under pressure to another place, so pipe always connect with various fittings such as tees, elbows and valves. Such as standards in API 5L, ISO 3183, ASTM A106, ASTM A53, ASTM A333, etc.
Tube is mostly in heat exchanging systems, boiler services, vessels, tube bundle, U tubes, food industries, machinery parts etc. So the tube sizes always in less tolerances than pipe. Tube Standards such as carbon material in ASTM A179, ASTM A192, and stainless steel tube in ASTM A213, ASTM A270 etc.
