As per ASME Section IX, for test coupons greater than 10 mm (3/8 inch) in thickness, side bend tests are required. Since your test coupon is 38 mm thick, side bend tests should be conducted instead of root and face bend tests.
The reason for this requirement is that side bend tests effectively evaluate the entire thickness of the weld, ensuring that any discontinuities across the weld zone are detected.
