A method for measuring a rheological property of a drilling fluid by using a curved pipe on site includes: step 1: deriving relationship constants between friction coefficients of a drilling fluid through offline checking; step 2: calculating Rei according to fci; step 3: calculating an actual shear stress τwi and a shear rate γi of the drilling fluid in the on-site curved pipe according to the relationship constants and Rei; step 4: establishing a plurality of on-site models according to τwi and γi; step 5: determining an optimal on-site model according to correlations between τwi and predicted shear stresses of the plurality of on-site models; and step 6: performing on-site measurement on the rheological property of the drilling fluid according to the optimal on-site model. The method avoids inaccurate rheological measurement due to different types of drilling fluids and improves the measurement accuracy for different types of drilling fluids.
