The 80 in 80 steel pipe indicates its wall thickness; the higher the number, the thicker the pipe. The pressure rating for a 5" schedule 80 steel pipe at 100 degrees Fahrenheit is 1857 psig.
For a given pipe size, schedule 160 would have the smallest ID (and thicker wall). Wall thickness and pressure rating goes up with increasing schedule number, causing the ID to go down with increasing schedule number.
Thicker pipe wall is required to contain higher fluid pressures. For the same fluid pressure, a thicker pipe wall is required for a larger diameter pipe than that required for a pipe of smaller diameter. A schedule of pipe sizes and wall thicknesses has been established by ASTM standards governing manufacturing of pipe. A previous description of pipe wall thicknesses as "Standard", "Extra Strong" and "Double Extra Strong" has been supplanted by a schedule of 10, 20, 30, 40 60, 80, 100, 120 and 160. Schedule 40 pipe generally compares with the previous use of "Standard". For metal pipe, Schedule 80 pipe has a thicker wall and can withstand greater pressures than a Sch 40 pipe. A point of confusion is that for PVC piping, Schedule 80 pipe has a thinner wall than Sch 40 pipe.
What medium and temperature as there is something called "pressure temperature relationship"
The difference between schedule 40 and 80 pvc is the wall thickness and schedule 80 is thicker then schedule 40 so the higher the schedule number the thicker the wall of the pipe thus can hold more pressure.

Is this pipe going to be threaded / Grooved or Welded?

Hello??? black steel comes in various schedules , schedule 10, 20 40 ,80 ,120 the thicker the wall the higher the pressure the piping can withstand
Schedule 40 welded carbon steel pipe (black) is rated at a working pressure of 150 psi. It should be printed on it. Schedule 80 welded is rated at 300 psi. If U want higher rated piping you must use seamless (not welded) pipe. Hope this helps!
The difference between schedule 40 and 80 pvc is the wall thickness and schedule 80 is thicker then schedule 40 so the higher the schedule number the thicker the wall of the pipe thus can hold more pressure.
If you require higher pressure higher wall thickness of pipe you should use sch 80 pipes.
Bevel inside of sch. 80 to match OD of sch. 40
That would depend on the temperature "Temperature pressure relationship" and the fittings used
Schedule 80 means "Pipe Wall Thickness as per Sch.80 of ASME B36.10M". Pipe 80 means "3 inch NPS or 80 mm NB pipe as per ASME B36.10M". Hope that it will answer your query adequately. Regards, Bhatta
