The invention discloses a 
coal body permeability characteristic testing 
system. The 
coal body permeability characteristic testing 
system comprises an electronic 
universal testing machine, a permeability characteristic testing device, a vibration detecting device, a first gas 
system, a confining pressure hydraulic system and a computer, wherein the permeability characteristic testing device consists of a lane simulating mechanism and a lane ambient environment simulating mechanism; the lane simulating mechanism comprises a baffle, a breathable plate, a 
coal rock sample and a U-shaped clamping sleeve; the lane ambient environment simulating mechanism comprises a base, a cylinder tube, a lower pressing head, an upper half 
concave surface pressing head, an upper half convex surface pressing head and a 
piston; the first gas system comprises a first gas tank, a first 
pressure reduction valve and a first 
gas pressure meter; the confining pressure hydraulic system comprises a confining pressure 
liquid tank, a 
hydraulic pump, a unidirectional valve, a confining pressure hydraulic meter and a confining pressure liquid overflow valve. The invention also provides a coal body permeability characteristic testing method. According to the coal body permeability characteristic testing system and method, the 
axial pressure, the confining pressure and the 
methane gas pressure are controllable, the gas permeability characteristics influenced by disturbance of a lane coal 
rock body and a coal mine deep part coal 
rock body can be tested, and the testing precision is high.
