RE: piping and tubing
The difference between piping and tubing is:
"Tube refers to cylindrical, square, rectangular or any shape of hollow material of uniform thickness which is defined by the outside diameter and wall thickness dimensions. (For example 0.375" diameter x 0.062" wall.)
Pipe is round material with specific O.D. and I.D. measurements. The dimensions used in describing pipe refer to its inside diameter and wall thickness. While at one time the inside diameter was a true dimension, over the years the dimension has become "nominal" (in name only) so that when pipe size is referred it is an approximate inside diameter measurement with the thickness described by the term "schedule". (For example: 1-1/2", sch. 40 pipe has an outside diameter of 1.9 inches with a wall thickness of .140"

RE: piping and tubing
As it has been said it all depends basically on the industry or discipline dealing with the subject. The use of pipes and tubes as ducts for fluids' conveyance has already been explained.
For heat transfer (eg boilers, etc.), instrumentation (Pitot, Venturi tubes), ordnance (guns), electricity (electron tubes), tubes are generally preferred. Geology has uses for both: tubes (as in caves) and pipes (as in breccia pipes); the same happens with biology. Even computer science uses "pipe" to call the technique of transferring from one program to another during processing.
But all that is in English, in Spanish, for example, when dealing with the transportation of fluids piping is indistinctly called tuberías or cañerías.
