A system (1) for the detection of defects in rails (12), the system comprising a source of ultrasonic waves for emitting ultrasonic waves onto a rail, a detector for detecting ultrasonic waves reflected or otherwise scattered by the rail or defects therein and a mist generator (3) arranged, in use, to expose one or both of the rail and source of ultrasonic waves to a mist of liquid, thus enabling the formation of an ultrasound-transmissive interface between the rail and the source of ultrasonic waves.

Système (1) de détection de défauts des rails (12), le système comprenant une source d'ondes ultrasonores émettant des ondes ultrasonores vers un rail, un détecteur pour détecter des ondes ultrasonores réfléchies ou autrement dispersées par le rail ou les défauts de celui-ci et un générateur (3) de vapeur apte, en fonctionnement, à exposer l'un parmi le rail et la source d'ondes ultrasonores ou les deux, à une vapeur ou un liquide, permettant ainsi la formation d'une interface de transmission d'ultrasons entre le rail et la source d'ondes ultrasonores.
