I would be curious on this too, as I have some 14" OD (guesstimating)
natural gas pipe.
It is approximately one inch thick.  I thought it would be good because
surely the gas
company would not use conductive pipe, however I am not certain on this.
Maybe it
is better to use slightly conductive pipe so that a potential static charge
does not build
up.
