3 types of pvc pipe i've seen . PRessure pipe- comes in schedule 40, 80 or 
120 in the USA, in verious 'classes' in australia, where class number x 100 
= kpa pressure rating.

THen youve got DWV - drain waste vent pipe- thinner walls, white pvc, no 
pressure rating.

LAstly you have very thin green dwv pipe. I believe it's called 'cellular 
core.'

THis is what i've seen.
Research says that green is typically used for sewers
