A 3/0 wire with an insulation factor of 90 degrees C is rated at 210 amps. The electrical code book states that 3 - 3/0 wires can be pulled into 41 mm conduit (1-1/2"). Most mast kits utilize 53 mm (2") schedule 40 conduit.
4 inch rigid conduit
One problem of using rigid conduit in a residency when it is not needed is that project will very quickly over run the budget of the project. Labour will be at least 5 times more expensive to install rigid over NMD90 cable.Another problem will be the tight bends required in home wiring as compared to the radius bends that rigid conduit requires.
It depends on the size of the service to be installed. For a 200 amps service, a free standing mast is 2 inch rigid steel galvanized pipe and schedule 40 in strength.

Conduits shall be supported at intervals not exceeding 3000mm.
4 inch rigid conduit
4 inch rigid conduit
2 inch Rigid or IMC conduit if it's on a structure. 2 inch schedule 80 PVC conduit if it's on a wood pole.
In electrical terms it represents Rigid Steel Conduit. It is also known as Rigid Metal Conduit (RMC).This is not to be confused with Electrical Metallic Tubing (EMT) also known in the trade as thin wall conduit.

A 770 Greenlee hydraulic pipe bender bend is used for rigid steel conduit from 2" to 4".
depends on size....
There are many types of conduit used for the containment of electrical wires. PVC is a non-metallic option. If you need something that provides mechanical protection, EMT is a steel conduit with a thin wall. Need even more mechanical protection, you can use rigid conduit. It comes in steel or aluminum, and must be threaded together.
Welding is not allowed by the NEC (United States' code).

Another name for thin wall conduit is EMT and stands for Electrical Metallic Tubing. The term thin wall is used to differentiate between two conduit systems, thin wall and rigid conduit systems.
