Answer / nadeem
a pipe can never be made with out schedule/NB etc and pipe ID/OD/NB will change as per size and schedule but there is no specific standard for tube. a tube ID can be 5mm and wall thickness can be 10 mm.
tube use to transfer the heat but pipe use to transfer the fluid.
tube is identified by OD and thickness but pipe identify by schedule/ NB.

Answer / vamsi pyda
actually tube is used when we need to transfer heat from
its walls and we want this to be happen while in pipes we
try to stop the heat transfer such as we use tubes in
boilers because we make steam we need to transfer the heat
while when we transport steam we use pipes because we wana
save heat energy.
