[TowerTalk] tubing vs pipe

[Clint Talmadge]

Firstly:
Pipe is measured inside and tubing is measured outside.
Secondly:
Pipe is meant to carry pressure on the inside and tubing caries stress on the outside.

  Hello all.  I've tried to check the archives but don't seem to find an answer. Just what is the difference between aluminum  TUBING  and aluminum  PIPE.  My "gut" (and poor memory) says tubing is extruded and pipe has a welded seam.  
  TIA
