A common question is what is the difference between a hose and a tube? A hose is typically reinforced where a tube is not. Hoses are typically used for applications that involve high pressure, whereas a tube is more often used for lower pressure applications. Pipe on the other hand is typically a solid straight product and is often made of metal. We would however also consider tube to range from very small bores to around 12mm ID and after that the term hose could be used.
