    Abstract: A method for continuously, automatically examining a plastics tube to detect inhomogeneities is as follows: the tube after leaving the cooling ring of the extruder passes without contact perpendicularly to the line through the diaphragms of an optical detector between two symmetrically arranged lenses; the light beam passing through the apparatus is projected onto a screen and converted into electrical signals which are continuously recorded. The method enables point-type faults such as "fish-eyes" to be detected in preference to longitudinal streaks, while the tube is still in its blown state before being flattened into a sheet.
