Difference between Pipe and Tube

PIPE:
Pipe is designated by ID (Inside Diameter) and Thickness . It is used where  Heat Transfer needs to be stopped that is why in case where we want to transfer steam from boiler, we use pipes

TUBE:
Tubes are designated by OD (Outside Diameter) and thickness. These are used where we want  heat transfer to happen.
