Mohamed,

So that this Forum can assist you better, please provide more details,
like (1) What Building Code & the Edition are you using, (2) is the
Storage Area sprinkled, (3) is the Storage Area completely separated
from other buildings, (4) will the International Fire Code be applicable
to your facility and any other relevant details.

O.K., thank you for the input !

According to the 2015 IBC, Section 311.3 - Low Hazard Storage,
the metal piping is "most closely" associated with "metals and
metal parts", Occ. Group S-2.
