Hi,

Having a max power rating of 50 KW, (Max V  X  Max A)
but a "typical" power output of only 650 W implies that it is
intended for very low duty cycle ( ~1.3%) pulsed operation.
For TC use, I think you'd be happier with one rated >1KW
Continuous power (CCW)

And, look at the typical anode voltage and current, more like 1 kV at an amp.
The tube is only rated at 150W dissipation in air (with the added heatsink)

At first glance, this looks like a radar tube. 3 GHz, and in that use, pulsed duty wouldn't be unusual. A quick google also turns up the use of that tube in a bunch of accelerator applications.
