C900 is a specification for the construction of water distribution pipe . It detals not only wall thickness but other details such as the joints at each end...
Sch80 deals with the wall thickness of pipe and fittings.
Sch80 wall thickess is available in all pipe sizes and is not limited to a specific material.
The C900 spec deals with 4 to 12 dia PVC pipe.

C-900 is the number of a standard set by the American Water Works Association for water distribution pipe, common usage is to refer to pipe meeting requirements for the standard by the standard's number. The actual AWWR standard is "C900-97: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) Pressure Pipe, and Fabricated Fittings, 4 In.-12 In. (100 mm-300 mm), for Water Dist."
There are several wall thickness dimension ratios (DRs) included in the code, such as DR-14, DR-18, and DR25.
Schedule 80 is a wall thickness in relation to diameter as defined by codes such as ANSI/ASME B36.10M.
Among other things, C900 is used to insure the pipe diameter is a controlled size so insert fittings will seal properly. Within this standard, "DR" is roughly the same type of callout as "schedule".
