An apparatus for testing the wall thickness of a moving tube of plastics or other electrically non-conducting material being produced by an extruder, comprises an electrically conductive measurement body arranged in the moving tube, a ferromagnetic holding member which is arranged in the tube within effective range of a holding magnet located outside the tube and which has a tie connection to the measurement body to locate the measurement body axially within the effective range of a measuring sensor located outside the tube. The holding member and the measurement body may be introduced into the tube through a channel in the extruder head, shot into the tube from a forward position, or inserted through an aperture cut in the tube wall. |
