Various methods for the determination of molecular mass distribution from rheological measurements of polymer melts are introduced. Shear viscosity, entrance pressure loss, recoverable shear, and in particular the dynamic viscoelasticity data G' and G” are discussed as analytical tools to evaluate the molecular mass distribution. Well characterized samples and homologous series of the polymers PS, PE‐HD, PP, and PTFE were measured to check the methods. Precise and reliable results can be obtained by calculating the molecular mass distribution from the frequency dependence of the storage modulus.
