The pressure of the fire extinguisher has decreased. Do I need to replace it?

The fire extinguisher has reached its expiration date and the pressure has been significantly reduced due to environmental problems. Do you need to replace it? This post was last edited by hw197358 on 2009-3-21 22:11 ]
I think it needs to be replaced. This kind of thing involves safety issues. Although it has not passed the shelf life, it does not meet the requirements for use. You must not be careless.
This has also happened to us. When the temperature is low in winter, the pressure drops, but we still replace it as required.
If the pressure gauge pointer is lower than the green zone, it must be replaced to ensure the effectiveness of the fire extinguisher, regardless of whether the environment is harsh or not.
As long as the pointer of the fire extinguisher is not in the green zone, it is considered abnormal. If it reaches the red zone, it means loss of pressure, and the dressing must be changed immediately. If it reaches the yellow zone, it means overpressure. If the outside temperature is high, the fire extinguisher will be overpressured. As long as the temperature can return to the green zone after the temperature drops, it is considered normal. Otherwise, the dressing must be changed.
I think it should be replaced. There have been accidents in the past where the tank of a fire extinguisher burst open during use, resulting in casualties!
It must be replaced. Fire-fighting equipment is "it is better not to use it for a hundred years than to be unprepared for a day."
As long as it is below the green zone, it must be replaced.
For safety reasons, it should be replaced just in case.
Thanks everyone, I know what to do.
You are the moderator here, why is there no point deduction for his topic that is less than four words? The day before yesterday, my post had points deducted because it did not have four words and the content was deleted, so I did not receive relevant answers in time.
