This video was made to answer the question: "Why must extinguishers be recharged immediately after use, even if only partially discharged?"
If we stop a fire with only a small amount of extinguishing agent, the gauge may still show correct operating pressure and the weight may indicate it is still full. The obvious Question is: "Why should we have the unit recharged as quickly as possible?" In fact, since it has extinguishing agent and pressure why does it need recharged at all?
An authoritative article which provides more information on the importance of recharging extinguishers soon after use can be found at: fireextinguisherman.wordpress....
