Abstract
The device includes a first tubular support (11) carrying on its outside surface means for fixing to a handling tool, a second tubular support (18) mounted coaxially inside the first support (11) for rotation about its axis. A flexible strip (55) carrying a monitoring probe at one of its ends is engaged in a slideway support carried by the second support (18) and including an end part (65) mounted to pivot about an axis which is perpendicular to the axis (25) of the second support (18). The strip (55) is moved translationally along the axial direction (25) by a conveyor bolt (53). The inside surface of the tubular piece (3) is monitored by moving the probe fixed to the end of the flexible strip (55) rotationally about the axis (25) and in axial translation, inside the annular space (8) between the sleeve (5) and the tubular piece (3).
