<p>A detector for detecting discontinuities in a medium to be researched, the detector comprising means (14) for generating an electrical drive current, a sonde (1,101,201,301) having a transmitting coil (2,104,202,302) to be subjected to the drive current, and a pair of receiving coils (3,4;105,106;203,204;303,304) spacedly arranged on respective opposite sides of the transmitting coil, whereby a magnetic field is set up in the medium with the sonde adjacent it on subjection of the transmitting coil to the said electrical current and the receiving coils have induced in them different voltages if the magnetic coupling from the medium to one of the receiving coils differs from the magnetic coupling from the medium to the other receiving coil due to a discontinuity in the medium and means (16,17,17',18,19,20,21') for comparing the voltages induced in the respective receiving coils, characterised in that the drive current generating means (14) is adapted to generate a series of switched DC pulses and the voltage comparing means (16,17,17',18,19,20,20') is adapted to compare the voltages subsequent to each pulse.</p> |
