    Pipe is normally used to convey fluids, so the internal cross-sectional area (defined by the ID) is important. Tube is more frequently used in structures so the OD is the important number. Wall thickness under tolerance is up to 12.5% applied for all pipes as and welded fittings as per ASME B16.
