A method for on-site measuring permeability coefficient of landfill gas adopts a measurement system comprising a lower opened tube well, a gas pressure sensor, a gas pressure display recording instrument, an extraction pipeline valve, a leachate emptying valve, a leachate emptying pipe, a gas measuring apparatus and a centrifugal fan. The method adopting extraction mode comprises the following step tube well internal pressure and extraction flow rate are recorded after the gas is stable; and the permeability coefficient of landfill gas is obtained after the substitution to a stationary model. In the method, not only are the conventional extraction pipeline and equipment in a landfill utilized, but also the defects of easy explosion and high hazards which are caused after air and methane are mixed when gas injection mode is adopted are overcome, further the characteristics of landfill covering permeability and permeability coefficient difference in horizontal direction and vertical direction of the landfill caused by layered landfilling and compaction are fully considered. Therefore, the method provided by the invention has the advantages of high measurement accuracy, simple system, and convenience in operation; in addition, key parameters are provided for the pollution control and the recycling of the landfill gas, so that the method has a promised application prospect.
