Grain-Size Analysis (Hydrometer Method)

Download the form

Defense Department form, series DD, number 1794. Full title: DD Form 1794, Grain-Size Analysis (Hydrometer Method), December 1999. Function: Grain-Size Analysis (Hydrometer Method). Edition in force: not stated. Publisher status: not stated.

Governing directive: not stated. Responsible office: not stated. The DD designation signals joint scope — all military departments, combatant commands and defense agencies draw on a single edition of the document.

Users include uniformed members of any branch, DoD civilian employees, contractor personnel where authorized, and the administrative staff who process the completed record.

When the form is filed is a matter of not stated and local instruction. The description here covers the document itself and how to obtain a copy.

Available formats: PDF. The form runs 1 pages and contains approximately 122 fillable fields.

Distribution centres on pdf. Two states exist: fillable, where field boxes accept keyboard input and retain it, and printable, a static blank produced for manual completion. Typed data reproduces cleanly across copies; handwritten data depends on the writer.

Xfdl is present in the set. The format belongs to IBM Lotus Forms — long the Defense standard for electronic forms — and needs the matching viewer; pdf applications will report the file as unreadable.

Free download applies to every format listed. Any current pdf reader opens the pdf files, though field behaviour is most reliable in a full desktop reader rather than a browser preview.

Completion runs in the order printed on the page: identifying data at the head, the body of the entry next, certification at the foot. Header data frequently governs what belongs in the fields below it.

The current edition is not stated. Superseded editions of DD forms are frequently rejected at the receiving office, since Department-wide forms change centrally and older layouts lose their field correspondence. Edition date appears in the lower corner of the printed blank.

Guidance for specific entries sits on the form face and in not stated; the directive is authoritative where the two do not agree.

Once executed, routing follows not stated and the submitting organization's own instruction. Keeping a copy is standard.

Related documents are located by series and number. DD forms sit in a single Department-wide sequence, so a form referenced inside DD Form 1794 is normally found by its number alone, without regard to service.

Where a DA form is cited alongside a DD form, the two belong to different systems: DA numbering is Army-specific and administered by an Army proponent, while DD numbering is Defense-wide under not stated or an equivalent Department office. Numbers do not translate between the systems.

Editions change because the underlying directive changes, because collection requirements are revised, or because Privacy Act language is updated. Checking the edition date at the point of download is the practical response.

Scope of this page: distribution of a published form and description of its contents. It offers no legal guidance and no assurance regarding any particular submission. Direct procedural questions to not stated, to the servicing personnel office, or to the office designated in not stated.
