Was the correct "former" diameter used for the bend tests? Also, where did the tensiles break?

Dear experts 

 

regarding A/M Subject kindly advice why the PQR Test had been failed two times even this WPS/PQR Approved before and we just tried to copy it 

 

all welders 2 times failed in root bend / tension some times not reach 250 MPA as required  (2 root bend + 2 root face + 2 tensile testing are required)

 

the lab said first time there are porosity
and inclusions but even 2nd test was failed  (attached photos for your reference)
