A simple calculation method to evaluate intrinsic viscosity from viscosity data at a finite concentration (i.e. without the extrapolation to zero concentration) is examined to clarify its applicability. The method, [eta] = {2(eta(sp)-ln eta(r))}(1/2)/c, is based on Huggins and Fuoss-Mead plots. Here, eta(sp) and eta(r) are respectively specific viscosity and relative viscosity, and c is concentration. Its applicability was tested with published viscosity data for polystyrene and poly(alpha-methyl styrene) solutions. The method was found to work well for good solvents in the concentration regime c / c *
