150 articles on causal relationship issues

I came across this question while reading other posts: For containers with a welding joint coefficient of 1 in 150 10.3.1, 100% non-destructive testing is required. Meanwhile, it is stipulated that the welding joint coefficient is determined by the type of joint and the proportion of non-destructive testing applied. What is the causal relationship between these two regulations conceptually? The requirement for containers with a welding joint coefficient of 1 is redundant in this context
When the welding joint coefficient is set at 1.0, it is assumed that the weld has the same strength as the base material. To ensure that the weld indeed has the same strength as the base material, 100% non-destructive testing is required, and high standards must be met in terms of quality. Moreover, the joint coefficient is 1.0 only for butt welds; this does not apply to fillet welds or composite joints.
The weld joint factor is determined by the joint type and the proportion of non-destructive testing...
