For those individuals who are new to the piping profession and want sources to expand their knowledge. There are a lot of books that address the subject of piping. Some books address HVAC and other building systems piping. Some address fire protection piping. There are still others that address hygienic piping.
Finally, there are the books that address process plant piping. Process plants (in this context) are refineries, chemical plants, power plants, waste treatment plants, and others. The books listed here are piping books for process plants and are just a few of the total that may be available.
If there are any books that you would recommend, please let me know and I will add to the list.
