A casting control method comprises the steps of supporting a mould on a support structure; sealing the mould to a launder system; measuring the weight of the mould to obtain a base 'tear' reading; operating the launder system to cause liquid casting material to flow into the mould; monitoring the change in weight of the mould due to the in-flow of liquid casting material; and controlling the rate of flow of the liquid casting material into the mould so that the change in weight monitored follows a predetermined optimum or substantially optimum path. Mould supporting apparatus, which can be used in the above casting control method, comprises a support structure which includes a support plate for supporting the mould, and one or more load cells which support the support plate in a floating arrangement. A launder system, a mould, and a casting are also provided.
