pipe and tube are closed condute used for flowing of liquid and gas .. the major difference is pipe is defined by NPS and thickness by schedule where tube is by outer dia . pipe has only circule shape but tube may be rectangular , square and circular. but after 14" and above pipe can be called as tube, because after 14" and above nps of pipe is equal to OD.
  That's more than enough to understand difference between pipe and tube.
