The presented basic research was aimed at determining a correlation between compaction degree of moulding sand and its permittivity εr at 2,45•109 s-1. The measurement results make a basis for mathematical description of a multilayer technological system as is a combination of moulding sand and foundry instrumentation. Analysis of the results shows that compaction significantly influences permittivity of the sandmix containing water-glass, because permittivity value increases with increasing compaction degree.
