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.
It is the wall thickness heavier then schedule 20 lighter then schedule 80
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.
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.
Schedule 160 is thicker than 80
schedule 40 is thicker than schedule 20

The schedule of a pipe indicates its thickness. The higher the schedule number, the thicker the pipe will be. Shcedule 40 and schedule 80 seem to be the most common.
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
It is the wall thickness heavier then schedule 20 lighter then schedule 80
40 is thicker. 20w 40 means its 40 weight at normal and hot temps and 20 weight at winter temperatures. 40 stays 40 at all times.
Pipe schedule tell you something about the wall thickness of a pipe. Higher schedule means thicker wall. The actual thickness must be read from a pipe specification sheet, as it differs from material to material. Typical pipe sch. are Sch 20, 40, 80, 160, XS, XXS.

NO but copper tubing will fit inside one another BUT not schedule 40 or thicker
PVC pipes are commonly available in three main grades: Schedule 40, Schedule 80, and CPVC (Chlorinated Polyvinyl Chloride). Schedule 40 is used for general purpose applications, while Schedule 80 is thicker and stronger, suitable for high-pressure systems. CPVC is designed for hot water applications due to its higher heat resistance.
