what is the minimum space between gas medical pipes and any electrical equipment I.e(lighting fixtures,sockets,exposed conduit, cable tray,...) Please with related reference from code

I don't think there is a requirement for a minimum space.

Medical Gas Columns frequently have electrical conduits and receptacles packed in pretty tight with med gas piping and med gas outlets.

My limited experience in hospital ceilings tells me that there are no distance requirements. :dunce:

I'm not sure about a specific code but was taught not to allow dissimilar metals to touch. That is something that I see referenced as a general note or in specifications regularly. I have also seen a type of isolation tape use at location where flex, ceiling support, conduit,... would touch the medgas pipe to ensure they are isolated.

By medical gas do you just mean oxygen and vacuum?
