ABSTRACT:
The tubular cladding (1) comprises an internal surface of substantially prismatic shape, having successive faces. An ultrasonic examination head (3) makes it possible to emit ultrasound waves in the form of pulses from the outside of the cladding (1), so that the ultrasound waves pass through the wall of the cladding (1) and scan the wall over its entire periphery. The frequency of the ultrasound pulses is adjusted as a function of the circumferential scanning speed of the cladding (1). An ultrasound signal reflected by the internal surface of the cladding (1) is recorded and the reflected signal is analyzed in order to examine the number and the amplitude of the faces and the variation in thickness of the tubular cladding (1) over one revolution.
