tubeing/ pipe

Tue, 31 Aug 2021 15:35:44 GMT

go to see Welding Machine for tubeing/ pipe

Ok, I know this may have been explained already, but can someone please explain the difference between tubeing and pipe, are they both measured by the I.D. and the D.O.M thing can someone please explain. It may seem like a dumb question to some but i rarely deal them and wass just curiose for future referance is all thanks in advance.

Replyipe goes by ID, but not accurately, just nominally (1" pipe with low wall thickness is the same od as 1" pipe with high wall thickness), tubing is measured OD and is accurate no matter the wall thickness. DOM, is a type of tubing that is made by Drawing hot metal Over a Madrel, and is seamless and expensive as heck.

Reply:So since pipe over 12" is measured by o.d. Does that make it tubing

Reply:With pipe they set up a set of standards to balance between providing an average of the stated carrying capacity (inner diameter) for a given size yet still be consistent with the OD for joining purposes. So naturally 2" pipes of several schedules will all offer inner carrying capacity around or about 2", plus or minus, but will be consistent with the outer diameter which is slightly over 2". The same goes for all 'named' sizes of pipe. This is done so that you can buy a 1 inch, 2 inch or 3 inch pipe of differing wall thicknesses and comfortably assume that each will carry approximately what the pipe states it is to carry. Tubing the outer diameter and the named size are one and the same with no need to consider the inside diameter. Inside diameter is what it is. 1" is 1" OD and so on. Any rough inner capacity would be up to the end user to calculate based on wall thickness. In a nut shell, 1" pipe is more than 1" OD  with the focus on inner size and 1" tube is 1" OD."The things that will destroy America are prosperity at any price, peace at any price, safety first instead of duty first, the love of soft living and the get rich quick theory of life." -Theodore Roosevelt

Reply:The best explanation I can give is 2" sch 40 pipe for example, is approx 2" ID.  It is 2 3/8"OD.  Now you can get it in many "schedules" like 10 (thin), 40 (STD), 80 (HD) ,120 (XHD) etc.   The OD remains 2 3/8", the wall thickness changes. So 2" is just a nominal average size, usually based on sch 40.  There are many qualities from fence (untested) to pressure tested pipe. If you follow my posts I am finding the quality on consistancy of pipe has deteriorated over the last several years. Tubing is more of a standard dependable steel, and is sold by it's OD and wall thickness.  Generally a better, more expensive, quality steel. It is also available in a seamless (more expensive) version.   Your local metal supplier should be able to get you a free book on what is "normally" available in both. The cheap, harbor frieght type benders will only work on PIPE, sch 40 and thicker. They will kink anything else.    Pipe also comes galvinized, or black.  Plain or threaded ends.  It is usually in 21' or 24' lengths, unlike tubing which would be 20'.  The black pipe has a laquer type finish which is a dirty pain to brush off. Tubing is like any normal, oiled steel.  fairly clean and easier to prep for paint.

Don't know why so many guys are getting mad about this, I think you should google/search anything you need to know before posting here. Just keeps things from getting posted many times and choking out the other new threads with new info or questions.
Reply:Since we are on the subject of pipe, I found out some interesting information regarding pipe length, but it took more than Google to find.  Who knows why pipe comes commonly in 21' lengths?
Reply:Originally Posted by weldermikeOf coarse I was just having fun
Reply:My supplier is now carrying more in 24' lengths than 21'.  They say demand from fencing and solar companies want that length more, especially in 2" sch 40. The solar companies use it for mounting columns for panel arrays.
