Tubing

Tubing. A hollow cylinder for the conveyance of liquids or gases. Tubing appears similar to pipe, but tubing implies tighter engineering requirements than pipe. Pipe implies a level of rigidity and permanence. Tubing, however, can be rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible. Unlike pipe, which is specified by nominal sizes that are usually not dimensionally correct, tubing is specified by its actual ID or OD and wall thickness. Tubing is extruded from many metals and plastics.
