It depends on how much corrosion resistance is needed for the fluid being carried, and then on the budget.

If you are meaning by SMS - Sanitary Manufacturing Standards which are piping with highly polished surfaces then I would suggest you use SS-316 / SS-316L. This gives better resistance against acids.
