English equivalents of Aisi 316L sch. 40 / sch. 80

I am trying to confirm English equivalents for various terms encountered in a Spanish text. I believe they are probably the same but need to confirm.

Hi, Peter. AISI is American Iron & Steel Institute; 316L is low-carbon variety of type 316 stainless steel; Sch. 40 is standard wall pipe; Sch. 80 is heavy wall pipe. Sorry, I don't know the others offhand.
