Using solder joints, max. 125psi, length 30 feet.
... or must it be steel pipes? .... or 3/4" ?

My field question so 'am happy to answer.
1mm thick 1/4" copper tubing is extensively used for pressure up to 150psi if the flow req'ment is not high-i.e in all instrumentation work.
1/2" copper tubing is better done using flaring rather than soldering.
std. available length is 30 ft. so u don't need to to join, u can straight way connect it using pneumatic fittings available in brass or s.s.
Better specify seamless tubing, it is also available with PVC coating. Hope u r now well informed.

Copper pipe is fine at 125 PSI.
Unless you're dealing with a high flow rate,
1/2" should be OK.

Yes! Copper pipes or copper tubing si being used in brakes and even aiconconditioneers. Depending on thickness it can handle high pressures
