Abstract. A formula for calculation of R/Q ratio of microwave vacuum tubes multiple beam cavities by arbitrary perturbation of the gap RF electric field is derived.  It is shown that the wide used R/Q ratio formula based on the small perturbation and homogeneity of the gap RF electric field leads to conservative values of R/Q ratio.   The results obtained by refined formula are in good correspondence with these computed by macros developed for CST Microwave Studio code.
