Live sand readings
Moisture, compactability and permeability from every line, updating as tests are taken.
VSyncTwo platforms, one quality story
Monitor the sand. Prove the instruments.
Most casting defects begin in the sand - and in instruments that have drifted out of calibration. Versatile closes both gaps.
VSync
Real-time sand monitoring
Connect your sand-testing machines and watch quality live - every reading captured, checked against spec, and turned into dashboards, reports and alerts.
- Live readings from every mould line
- Automatic spec / tolerance checking
- Self-building shift, daily & batch reports
- Out-of-spec & offline alerts
Versatile Calibration

FAQ
Common questions
What is foundry sand testing?
Foundry sand testing measures the properties of moulding and core sand - moisture, compactability, permeability, green compression strength, mould hardness and grain fineness - to keep the sand within the specification that produces sound castings and low rejection rates.
How does VSync help reduce casting defects?
VSync captures every sand-test reading in real time, checks it against your specification, and flags out-of-spec results immediately. Trends, reports and alerts let a foundry correct sand quality before it turns into scrap, directly reducing casting rejections.
How do I verify an instrument's calibration?
Scan the QR sticker on the instrument, or visit cal.sandtesting.org. You will see the calibration date, next-due date and condition at a glance, the full certificate with master-standard traceability, and - where enabled - the instrument's live readings. You can email yourself a copy and subscribe to status updates.
What is the Grain Fineness Number (GFN / AFS number)?
The Grain Fineness Number, or AFS number, is a single value that describes the average grain size and distribution of foundry sand from a sieve analysis. VSync computes GFN automatically and produces a full sieve-analysis report for each sample.
