So when exactly does a pipe become a tube?

In my interpretation, a tube is normally structural in some way, and not intended to carry any substance.

A pipe carries a substance - liquid, gas, air etc.

They are identical when they are a piece of pipe/tube of identical dimensions before they are put into use, they change definition according to their end use.

So i guess a tube of paint/toothpaste/gel/smarties is just using the term out of context? The word tubular describes a shape, i.e tube-like it doesn't covey a purpose. A pipe can be described to be tubular for example. Therefore they must be one and the same thing.

This is just like asking when a painting becomes a drawing. You're essentially doing the same thing with both, just using different mediums but they could be described as either. E.g surely an ink blot "drawing" has brush strokes painted onto it? Or Lucian Freud's life "drawings" are actually paintings? The only reasonable conclusion is they can be both.

You obviously have far more time on your hands than me, I was fast asleep at 01:10 wink.

This is now way off original topic, let's leave it here smiley.

When is a pipe a tunnel.
Does the "tube" run in tunnels ?
If liquid comes out of a hypodermic syringe, why is the sharp end called tube ?

Funny old language isn't it?
