About U-Tubes

The U Tubes are measured by outside diameter. The U-Tubes are measured by inside diameter also. It is often confusing which size, shape, and color the customer needs – Pipe Size, Tubing Size, or U-tubes Size. Remember that U-Tubes refer to a nominal – not actual – inside and outside pipe diameter. The wall thickness of the U-Tubes is measured in inches (.0035″) or by the standard gauge from 10 (heaviest) to 30 (lightest), which corresponds to a range of wall thicknesses. U-Tubes can come in different shapes, such as square, rectangular, cylindrical, and many more, whereas Pipe is always round or maybe geometrical. The circular shape of the U-Tubes makes the pressure force evenly circulate. U-Tubes accommodate larger applications ranging from a ½ inch to several feet. U-Tubes are measured by the outside diameter and the inside diameter. The pipe is measured by inside diameter.
