Tube is a hollow structural member of any shape or section..

 

………………….

In the construction industry we would not call that tube but either RHS ( round hollow section) or SHS (square hollow section ) etc etc -we certainly would not call it tube in the context you suggest

I cannot recall ever using  the term "square tube" in the construction of structural units. Although I admit we would refer to "tubular structures" in context of describing components in  lattice roofs etc made from hollow sections

I must remember when next I go to buy some new fluorescent pipes to call them tubes!
