Abstract: A cylindrical chamber accommodates an axially movable rod having a helically grooved portion of the periphery, to which a starting flow of liquid is fed via an inlet passage of said cylindrical chamber, outlet passages for discharging separate streams of liquid after splitting of the initial flow to users and for feeding one of the streams back to the initial flow being arranged on different sides of the inlet passage. The distances between the geometrical axes of the inlet passage and outlet passages for discharging liquid to users are substantially identical and equal to the length of the helically grooved portion of the rod. With such a construction of the splitter, liquid supply to users may be varied over a broad range with relatively small axial displacement of the rod.
