C. Copper pipe used in mains and service lines may not be used at pressures in excess of 100 psi (689 kPa) gauge. [ 49 CFR 192.125(c)]D. Copper pipe that does not have an internal corrosion resistant lining may not be used to carry gas that has an average hydrogen sulfide content of more than 0.3 grains/100 ft3 (6.9/m3) under standard conditions. Standard conditions refers to 60oF and 14.7 psia (15.6oC and one atmosphere) of gas. [ 49 CFR 192.125(d)]La. Admin. Code tit. 43, § XIII-925
