    It's already been pointed out that you're looking  for tubing - not pipe. 
You need something like an SAE 1026 or A520 - something  in the neighborhood 
of 50-60,000 psi yield strength I imagine. I didn't see  the original post so 
I'm not sure what your specific application is, what  your proposed antenna 
load is or what your county windspeed rating is.
