Pipes and tubes are essential components in various industries and everyday applications, serving diverse functions from transporting fluids and gases to providing structural support. In summary, pipes and tubes are fundamental to modern infrastructure and industry, providing crucial pathways for material transport and essential structural support, with their selection based on specific application needs and adherence to industry standards.

1. Defining pipes and tubes
Pipes: Typically round, used for conveying fluids (liquids, gases, etc.), defined by nominal pipe size (NPS or DN) and wall thickness (schedule).
Tubes: Can be round, square, rectangular, or oval, measured by outside diameter (OD) and wall thickness (WT), used for pressure equipment, mechanical applications, and instrumentation systems.
2. Common types and materials
Pipes and tubes are manufactured from various materials, including:
Metals: Carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, galvanized steel, copper, brass, aluminum, nickel, titanium, zirconium, etc.
Plastics: PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride), PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene), ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), HDPE (High-density polyethylene), PP (Polypropylene), etc.

3. Applications
Pipes and tubes find applications across numerous sectors:
Plumbing and drainage: Transporting water, wastewater, and gas in residential and commercial buildings.
Industrial processes: Conveying liquids, gases, and bulk solids in chemical, petrochemical, oil and gas, power generation, food and beverage, and other industries.
Construction: Structural frameworks for buildings, bridges, and infrastructure; piling; scaffolding; handrails; etc.
HVAC systems: Heat transfer and thermal management.
Automotive and aerospace: Fuel lines, exhaust systems, engine components.
Agriculture: Irrigation systems, farm gates.
Road safety systems: Highway and pedestrian safety barriers.
Telecommunication: Cable protection.
4. Key properties and considerations
Strength and durability: Resistance to pressure, temperature, shock, and vibration.
Corrosion resistance: Ability to withstand rust and chemical attack, often enhanced through galvanization or material selection (e.g., stainless steel).
Temperature resistance: Withstanding high and low temperatures.
Malleability: Ability to be shaped and bent.
Leak-proofness: Ensuring secure connections.
Cost-effectiveness: Considering both initial cost and long-term maintenance.
Environmental impact: Recyclability (e.g., steel, copper).
Industry standards: Adherence to specifications like ASTM, ASME, API, IS, and BS for design, materials, dimensions, and testing.
