Centering star
Accessory Description
Centering star PEEK  48
to 95 mm (1.89 to
3.74 inch)
can be used for
• FMP51
• FMP54
The centering star is suitable for probes with a rod diameter of 16 mm (0.6 in) and
can be used in pipes from DN40 (1½") up to DN100 (4"). Markings on the 4-leg
centering star ensure a simple tailoring. Hence the centering star can be adapted to
the pipe diameter. See also Operating Instructions BA00377F/00/A2.
• Material of centering star: PEEK (statically dissipative)
• Material of retaining rings: PH15-7Mo (UNS S15700)
• Admissible process temperature: –60 to +200 °C (–76 to +392 °F)
• Order code: 71069064

If the centering star is inserted in a bypass, it must be positioned below the
lower bypass outlet. This has to be accounted for when choosing the probe
length. Generally, the centering star should not be mounted higher than 50
mm (1.97") from the probe end. It is recommended not to insert the PEEK
centering star in the measuring range of the rod probe.
The PEEK centering star can also be ordered directly with the device (see the
Levelflex product structure, feature 610 "Accessory mounted", option OD). In
this case it is not fastened by the retaining rings. Instead it is fixed to the end
of the probe rod by a hexagonal headed bolt (A4-70) and a Nord-Lock
washer (1.4547).
