nonmetallic material to handle Sulfuric acid 1

[Salghetet]

Hi Gents
I am Facing problem with handling sulfuric acid 98% (may be diluted) at ambient temperature (from 4C t0 50C), what is the best nonmetallic material to be used for pipes one inch and two inches

PTFE is probably best but expensive.

PE is cheaper and should be good.

PP will work for a while but they get attacked, crack and fail.

Thanks alot Gents
what about Carbon steel pipe lined with PFA (perfluroalkoxy)

If it's lined then it doesn't matter what the pipe is made of unless you expect to scratch through the lining.
