The invention discloses a modular soil body permeability tester. The modular soil body permeability tester comprises a soil body seepage system, a seepage condition control system and a data acquisition system. According to the modular soil body permeability tester, different modular components are assembled to simulate various test conditions so as to scientifically and effectively research the seepage characteristics of a soil body. The modular components include a top box, an organic glass cylinder, a bottom box, an artificial rainfall module, a reversed filter component and the like. According to the modular soil body permeability tester, the mounting and the detaching are convenient, the preparation of samples is facilitated, and water is recycled in a seepage process, so that the water resource can be saved; besides, each modular component can be freely selected and arranged aiming at different research purposes, so that the tester has height expandability and can meet various test requirements; by utilizing a modular design idea, the tester has the advantages of diversity, economy, high efficiency, expandability and the like, and measured test parameters are accurate.
