Question

Accepted Answer

Piping refers to a system of pipes used to transport fluids, while tubes are hollow cylinders used for structural purposes.

Piping is used to transport fluids, such as water, oil, or gas, from one location to another.
Tubes are primarily used for structural applications, such as supporting buildings or carrying loads.
Piping is typically larger in diameter and has thicker walls compared to tubes.
Piping is often connected using fittings and joints, while tubes are usually welded or seamless.
Examples of piping include plumbing systems, oil pipelines, and HVAC ducts, while examples of tubes include scaffolding, bicycle frames, and heat exchanger tubes.
