Abstract By studying the molecular weights of various solutions of cis ‐1,4‐polyisoprene the authors arrived at the formula \documentclassarticle\pagestyleempty\begindocument[ η ] = √ 2/c √ η sp - \rm lnη rel\enddocument which allowed the calculation of the intrinsic viscosity of the polymer solutions by a single viscosity determination. The formula was verified for different systems of polymer–solvent and the values are in accord with those obtained by extrapolation. An operating concentration of about 0.2% is recommended.
