Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009138503A1] The present invention relates to a method of detecting deposits comprising at least one ferromagnetic material, such as nickel, magnetite or the like, on or near the external wall of a tube, notable in that it comprises at least the following steps of: moving a magnetized source inside the tube in the lengthwise direction using an electric motor, measuring the strength of the current in the electric motor, and determining the position and/or the thickness and/or the volume of the said deposit as a function of the variations in the strength of the current measured in the electric motor. Another subject of the invention is a device implementing the said method.
