The application relates to the technical field of concrete permeability testing, and discloses a permeability testing device for high-strength concrete research and development, which comprises an equipment table, a plurality of rotary air cylinders and a plurality of telescopic air cylinders installed on the equipment table, a plurality of side wall sealing mechanisms fixedly installed in the equipment table, an adjustable upper cover
assembly arranged above the side wall sealing mechanisms, and an adjustable lower seat
assembly arranged below the side wall sealing mechanisms; the self-adapting lateral sealing mechanism is composed of a fixed cylinder, a shrinkable film, a spiral liquid guide plate and a
petal isolation plate; during testing, a hydraulic
system injects pressure oil into a liquid oil cavity through a liquid inlet
pipe; the oil is uniformly and circumferentially diffused under the guidance of the spiral liquid guide plate, fills the whole cavity from the bottom to the top along the liquid passage of the fixed isolation plate, and is uniformly radially expanded inwards under the
oil pressure; the
petal isolation plate fixed on the film follows the movement, effectively restricts the deformation path of the film, and prevents local
distortion.
