Figure 4.31 of AWS D1.1 does not specify the size for the root and the face bend coupons to be cut does anyone know where I can find this, I'm looking for a 3/8" limited thickness test can't find the size of the specimens

You need to end up with straps 1-inch wide, from two different places [non-contiguous] in the coupon.
 
Ouch!!! Double ouch!!!
The code referenced is AWS D1.1. If one is using the 2010 edition, look at figure 4.12. The dimension for "W" is 1 1/2 inches for plate and pipe larger than 4 inches per the table just below the sketch. W is 1 inch if the pipe coupon is equal to or less than 4 inches in diameter.


Best regards - Al
