Zusammenfassung:	A crack detecting system includes a tool movable along a conduit or structure and having at least one sensing device for sensing cracks in a wall of the conduit or structure. The sensing device includes a fluid emitter and the fluid emitter includes at least one orifice configured to emit fluid. In response to the orifice emitting fluid, the emitted fluid excites the conduit or structure and the sensing device senses a response from the excitation of the conduit or structure. A processor is operable to process the response sensed by the sensing device and responsive to the processing, the processor determines flaws present at the wall of the conduit or structure.
