The invention discloses a method and an apparatus for measuring dynamic thermal stability of solid particles. The method, while heating the solid particles, enables the solid particles to move so as to realize mutual friction and collision among the solid particles. The apparatus comprises an actuating mechanism, a motion mechanism and a heating mechanism for heating the solid particles, wherein the solid particles are put into a rotating cylinder used as the motion mechanism, and the rotating cylinder is driven by the actuating mechanism to rotate. According to the invention, dynamic thermal stability of coal, semi-coke, activated carbon, coke, briquette and other solid particle samples can be stimulated under conditions of different temperature, heating ways, heating rates, environment atmospheres and rotating speeds of the rotating cylinder, that is, crushing and pulverization of the solid particle samples subjected to thermal stress, mechanical wear and particle collision in the rotating cylinder can be obtained through tests, thereby truly reflecting a crushing and pulverization degree of the solid particles during a practical industrial utilization process, and thus building a determination standard which is about dynamic thermal stability of the solid particles and is relatively close to the reality.
