Be careful not to let the PVC get dropped or beat up. We had a shop with PVC airlines. It was over 100psi by a little. Nevertheless had a fitting blow out. Scared the **** out of us.

I had aluminum tube in mind. Inside walls could be machined smooth and polished. Not cost effective as PVC though.
Machined aluminum would be cool and likely function very well. I had not thought of it because it is expensive to make a 4-6 ft long machined hole. I was thinking more of hardware store steel pipe.
