The stainless steel will cost between $0 and 50 cents a pound. There are no pipe joints. This water and food grade process pipe is butt welded together.
The only time I see this pipe cracked is when it's constantly hydraulic hammered.
There is about 100 miles of this pipe where I work and there are less than a dozen leaks. If it was prone to leaking there would be a few more leaks on 100 miles of pipe.
The only joints I need is a single 90° elbow and I already have it.
I can weld this pipe.

I don't care for plastic line.
