The important measurement is not exiting air temperature, but rather the temperature of the ceramic to metal seal on the tube, which should not exceed 250 C for that tube.

You should get some color-changing paint or crayon from McMaster-Carr or a similar source. Mark the seal with the 250 C paint and see if it changes color under full load. If it doesn't, you are safe. After you know you are safe, you can monitor the exit air temperature at full load and know that as long as you are under that figure, all is well.
