How bout this for a kicker?? I have heard of square tubing but neve heard
of square pipe. Is tubing ever threaded?
Is conduit tubing or pipe?
Damn ... another night without sleep LOL

Pipe is measured as "nominal bore" which means that the size quoted is an
approximate inside diameter. for instance 1/2 NB is about half an inch
inside diameter and the wall thickness is specified either as a "schedule
5
or 20 etc . Tubing is measured as an outside diameter and a wall
thickness. As a general rule tubing has a better finish and more
consistent
diameter than pipe.

What is the difference? I have purchased manual for building mini chopper
frame, and I have no idea what to ask for in shop (where I am no one in
metal shop - or any other speaks English). English is not my native
language, so please go easy.


And what is the difference when bending pipe and bending tube. I knew
that
bending tools are different, but why? Something to do with a diameter?
