The invention discloses a detection method of a pyrolysis-coking behavior of coal and an apparatus therewith. The detection method includes following steps: selecting and installing the detection apparatus and performing detection, wherein the performing detection includes the steps of: preparing detection, manufacturing a paper tube, manufacturing a filter paper bar, manufacturing an asbestos round cushion, installing a coal cup, performing coal sample reduction, feeding the coal sample into a furnace, starting detection, and measuring obtained data. The apparatus is composed of: a comprehensive control cabinet, a precision electronic balance, a furnace body, a furnace body support, the coal cup, a coal cup support, a colloid layer measurement system, a pressurizing system, a volume curve measurement system, an upper-part structural support and a pressure controlling system. According to the invention, during detection of the thickness of a coal colloid layer and a volume curve, expansion pressure, heat absorption and release peak temperature, weight loss amount and weight loss rate are detected, so that the detection method includes many detection indexes and achieves more comprehensive detection result, thereby forming a detection method linkage mechanism. The detection method is high in precision of a result, is strong in reliability, and can show the property characteristics of coking coal, semi-coke and mature coke in a coke oven.
