PVC Pipe
You know, when we talk about schedule, the different schedules refer to the size, thickness and maximum pressure of the pipe.
PVC is pipe made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) that conforms to a set of standards produced by ANSI.
As per article of PVCFittingsDirect from http://hubpages.com/hub/Schedule-40-versus-Schedule-80, ”
The difference between Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 PVC Pipe is the thickness of the pipe wall. Schedule 40 has a thinner wall than Schedule 80. This makes Schedule 80 PVC Pipes perfect for applications with very high water pressures.
The interesting thing about these pipes is that the outside diameter of the pipes is constant for different sizes and therefore they are interchangeable (provided that they meet the correct strength requirements).”
