PCT No. PCT/FR91/00942 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 8, 1993 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 8, 1993 PCT Filed Nov. 27, 1991 PCT Pub. No. WO92/09887 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 11, 1992.A device for detecting longitudinal cracks on slabs, in particular on steel slabs, issuing from a continuous casting, by way of eddy current measuring probes fed with an alternating voltage, and device for detecting variations in the voltage indicating the presence of a crack. The device for detecting longitudinal cracks includes on each side of upper and lower faces of the slab, a crack detection unit each including a measuring probe which undergoes a transverse reciprocating motion relative to the direction of travel of the slab, and a device for maintaining the measuring probe of each detection unit at a constant distance relative to the corresponding main face of the slab.
