Abstract
Liquid samples of like composition and like or unlike volume are collected simultaneously. Liquid is withdrawn continuously from a body of liquid to be sampled. The withdrawn liquid is passed continuously into and fills a confining region having multiple outlets. Streams of liquid from the respective outlets are diverted intermittently for sample collection and otherwise are returned to the source body of liquid or to waste. The multiple-outlet confining region is embodied in a plenum chamber, and individual diverter chambers are provided for the streams of liquid from the plenum chamber, together with means for effecting the diversion.
