Abstract
A device for diverting liquid from a pipeline is described having a first conduit; a second conduit connected to the first conduit at at least a first location and a second location; with the second conduit having a first section to collect diverted liquid and a second elongated section adapted to contain at least parts of the diverted liquid with a hydrostatic head or level reactive to a pressure drop between the first and second location thus controlling flow of liquid from the first conduit through the second conduit by balancing the pressure drop with the hydrostatic head or level.
