Pipe & Tube

Pipe and tube are both hollow cylindrical structures used to transport fluids or gases, but they differ in their dimensions and manufacturing. Pipes are heavier with larger diameters up to 40 feet long, while tubes are thinner walled with smaller diameters up to hundreds of feet long and can be rolled. Pipes have rougher interiors and are joined by screwing, while tubes are generally smooth and joined by compression fittings. Both are specified according to standardized wall thickness and diameter measurements.

Pipe & Tube

Differentiate b/w Pipe & Tube

Pipe Tube

 Pipes are relatively  Tubes are thin walled,


heavy walled, large small diameter and large
diameter, and moderate length ( hundred of feet)
length( 20 to 40ft)  Tubes can be rolled.
 Pipes cannot be rolled  Tubes are generally smooth
 Pipes are usually rough  Length of the tubes are
joined by the compression
 Length of the pipes are
fitting
joined by the screwed
Schedule Number
 Pipes are specified according to wall thickness by
Schedule Number.

 Ten schedule numbers are in use at the present


time.

 These are 10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 and
160.
Nominal Pipe Diameter
 Pipe sizes are based on the approximate diameter
and are reported as nominal pipe sizes.

 Although the wall thickness varies depending on


the schedule number, the outside diameter of any
pipe having a given nominal size is constant and
independent of the schedule number.
Tubing
 Tubing specifications are based on the actual
outside diameter with a designated wall thickness.

 Conventional systems, such as the Birmingham


Wire Gauge (BWG), are used to indicate the wall
thickness.
Design of Piping Systems
The following items should be considered by the
engineer when developing the design for a piping
system;
Typical Pipe Velocities
Case Study
Economic Pipe Diameter
 The capital cost of a pipe run increases with
diameter, whereas the pumping costs decrease with
increasing diameter.

 The most economic pipe diameter will be the one


which gives the lowest annual operating cost.
