"The Piping Guide" by D.R. Sherwood and D.J. Whistance - ISBN 0-914-08219-1
(Syentek, PO Box 26588, San Francisco, California 94126). The "Piping Guide" is
commonly used is community colleges for teaching layout and good practice (every
piping designer should have.
Every year the Pressure Vessel and Piping (PVP)Division of ASME has a conference
which produces about 200 good papers (about 40 percent piping subjects) and these
papers are gathered into publications which are offered by ASME. You could write to
ASME and get on their mailing list for publications.
