Equipment ( 1 ) and a method for locating and identifying incrustations in ducts and processing plants are described. Records of physical variations of fundamental importance to learning the process by which the incrustations are formed inside ducts is obtained through an inlet of said duct in equipment for foreseeing, identifying, and locating inorganic incrustations within ducts. Said equipment ( 1 ) includes: a physical parameter recorder ( 2 ), containing sensors ( 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 ), data acquisition equipment ( 13, 14, 15, 17 and 18 ) and power generating equipment ( 16 ), housed in an elastomer pig ( 19 ), with a cavity ( 20 ). Said equipment ( 1 ) allows salt incrustations to be foreseen, notably barium sulfate, calcium sulfate, strontium sulfate, and radium sulfate, that occur inside ducts, guaranteeing in this way an uninterrupted flow of fluids through the duct in accordance with well defined criteria, during operation of production ducts and transport.
