Good Reference Book
(OP)
I have been looking for a good piping reference book that I can keep at work. The company I work for has started getting into designing pipe networks and other things recently and I am in need of some good resources. Anything with formulas, examples, etc. would be great. Does anybody know of any? Thanks for help.

The Institution of Mechanical Engineers is London based but is an international organisation. Membership is free to students studying an approved engineering degree or diploma. They have three electronic technical libraries and over 100,000 pounds worth of books. Membership brings you into a vast network of professional mechanical engineers. Membership can only enhance your career prospects.
Membership cost may be paid your employer. In any event the cost of a couple of books would outweigh the membership fees.
By the way Crocker and King is in its 7th Edition and the author is now Mohinder L Nayyar. Much of the original material has been updated.

I am on my third copy......IMHO, It is probably one of the most referenced mechanical engineering texts ever.
If you become deeply involved in the flow analysis of fluid networks, consider purchasing AFT FATHOM software....

So recommend to you read more and more about security in plants, and about collor by flow, and process utilities, beyond to get experience in your own place of work. Good look. Edilson

Piping design not only involves the static strength but also the dynamic behaviour, system hydraulics (this can be one or two pahses, contain solids ...), earthquake , mine subsidence, corrosion & wear, surface protection, pigging, meter provers, fracture mechanics, etc etc.
Then you have the books that cover valves, relief and safty valves and devices, instrumentation...
Where are you starting from and where do you hope to get to?

RE: Good Reference Book
When you say hydraulic piping are your referring to the art of fluid mechanics or piping used in power hydraulics? If the latter I would get in touch with the hydraulic equipment suppliers like Parker Hannifin, Lucas,
