Provided is an apparatus for concurrently detecting a defect occurring in a heat exchanger tube and a geometric transition of the heat exchanger tube. The apparatus for detecting the state of a heat exchanger tube, including: the first detection unit detecting a defect of the heat exchanger tube; and the second detection unit detecting a geometric transition of the heat exchanger tube, in which the first detection unit and the second detection unit are disposed at the same circumferential position of a cylindrical body separately, installed to have a certain distance in the lengthwise direction of the cylindrical body, and inserted inside the heat exchanger tube. According to the present invention, not only a defect but also the type of geometric transition, which may accelerate the initiation and growth of a defect, is identified and the size of the geometric transition is concurrently measured, thereby improving the reliability in early detection of a defect.
