Pipe (fluid conveyance)

A pipe is a tubular section or hollow cylinder, usually but not necessarily of circular cross-section, used mainly to convey substances which can flow — liquids and gases (fluids), slurries, powders and masses of small solids. It can also be used for structural applications; hollow pipe is far stiffer per unit weight than solid members.

In common usage the words pipe and tube are usually interchangeable, but in industry and engineering, the terms are uniquely defined. Depending on the applicable standard to which it is manufactured, pipe is generally specified by a nominal diameter with a constant outside diameter (OD) and a schedule that defines the thickness. Tube is most often specified by the OD and wall thickness, but may be specified by any two of OD, inside diameter (ID), and wall thickness. Pipe is generally manufactured to one of several international and national industrial standards. While similar standards exist for specific industry application tubing, tube is often made to custom sizes and a broader range of diameters and tolerances. Many industrial and government standards exist for the production of pipe and tubing. The term "tube" is also commonly applied to non-cylindrical sections, i.e., square or rectangular tubing. In general, "pipe" is the more common term in most of the world, whereas "tube" is more widely used in the United States.

Lead Pipe (album)

Lead Pipe is the second album by Grand Daddy I.U., which was released on June 21, 1994, on Cold Chillin' through Epic Records. The entire album (with the exception of "Blast a New Asshole") was produced by Grand Daddy I.U. and Kay Cee.

Despite being released on a major label, the album was a commercial failure, only reaching No. 88 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. Following the album, Grand Daddy I.U. appeared on Big L's 1995 album, Lifestylez ov da Poor & Dangerous and then went on a 12-year hiatus before returning in 2007 with his third studio album, Stick to the Script.
