The equipment comprises at least one ultrasound probe (15) which is subject to a pressure applied to the rail. The probe acts on the rail via a smooth band (17) of synthetic material which is permeable to ultrasound. Sprays (20) are provided to create liquid films between the probe and the band, as well as between the band and the surface of the rail. The band forms an endless loop which passes over two toothed wheels. The band is held continuously in contact with the surface of the rail. |
