Demineralized water pipe material

Demineralized water pipe material

(OP)
I just want know if it is allowed to use a copper pipe for de-mineralize water system in a laboratory building? The said system will be connected to an existing potable water line (which is copper pipe) and will have an equiptment to be connected to the pipeline (let say ELGA brand).

Is there any guidelines or standards that tackle this issue?

need guidance and information :)

RE: Demineralized water pipe material

Copper pipe will not stand up to demineralized water. You should use pipe systems of standard materials (PVC, PP, PVDF, AISI 316L stainless steel). The choice between these materials depends on what the water is being used for. PVDF is probably the best choice for a lab.
