Tubing is usually more expensive than pipe due to tighter manufacturing tolerances. Interestingly, while the stated and measured OD’s of tubing are almost exact in most cases, copper tubing generally has a measured OD that is 1/8” larger than stated OD. As such, maybe it should be called copper pipe.
Tubes are stronger than pipe. Tubes perform better in applications that require durability and strength.
Copper and most copper alloys can be successfully joined using welding, brazing or soldering processes. It is also the method used by plumbers to join and repair copper pipe and copper fittings. You can use an inexpensive soldering iron or a blowtorch with a suitable flux for soft soldering.
