I believe that the criteria for tubing would be this, not going over 120 psi in general. If your psi is going to be 175, then you have something else you need to fix, not the tubing. Do you have safety switches installed?

On second thought, if this is scrap tubing needed for a project outside of competition, then I really have no idea.
