If flows are small, you can choose between copper or SS316 tubing. If flow requires piping, SS316 would be better to avoid external corrosion over the long term, especially in damp ambient conditions, or when piping runs through difficult to access areas and/ or when it runs along with many other pipes and tubing, making painting almost impossible in the future. In some Operating companies , such services are run in SS316 pipe or tubing for all line sizes <= DN50.
