I found a Chinese cheap triode for industry, filamnet 6V/50A;
Pamax=2.5kW; Grid diss=150W;Umax=6kV;
u=70, you know most industrial triodes are low/ meidum u tubes, but
this one is high u tube.
As it is  idustial tube , so the  price is cheap.Any suggestion?does
it  fit hamradio well?

Look at the mu (amplification factor) for the 3-500Z, or the 8877, for example: 160 and 200. With a mu of 70, it will take considerably more drive power than what is
usual for amateur service.

No argument there but many rigs have excess power to burn and many others use an IPA to drive a YC-156 and other tubes with handles anyway. That is what the ALS-600, SB-1000, AL-80 family, etc are used for.

Also several of the old glass tetrodes popularly used in GG wind up with an effective mu not much above the FU-724F, especially when run at a voltage well below their maximum. Think 4-1000A or a 4-400 used in a SB-220.
