Convective heating tests of reusable surface insulation joints and gapsArc tunnel tests on convective heating in surface insulation plate joints and gaps show that excessively wide gaps experience significant convective heating and may result in bondline overheating. A contoured joint affords more heat protection than a butt joint.
