If there is water in the pressure gauge of a fire extinguisher is it OK to use?
Samcjones
No. The diaphragm on the pressure gauge is leaking, and the gauge will soon be inoperative. Have the extinguisher serviced and repaired.

What pressure should a stored pressure water fire extinguisher be recharged to?
Many pressurized water fire extinguishers are charged with air at 100 psi.
Should a dry chemical extinguisher or a pressure water extinguisher be used on an electrical fire?
You would not want to use a pressure water extinguisher on any electrical fire due to the possibility of electricity being conducted through the water and injuring someone. A CO2, dry chemical or "clean agent" (e.g., "Halogenated") extinguisher would be a better choice for an electrical fire, knowing that dry chemical powder will make quite a mess.
What puts out a fire faster water or a fire extinguisher?
Trick question, if the fire extinguisher is full of water, such as a Class 2A. However, a fire extinguisher is designed to put out a small fire quicker than anyone can respond with a hose and a water supply. Unfortunately, many fires react violently when water is applied to them, so a different type of fire extinguisher must be used.
How does Boyle's law apply to fire extinguishers?
When it comes to fire extinguishes, the smaller the volume of the extinguisher the more pressure the gas has. So if the size of the fire extinguisher is small, the pressure might be high.
What is loaded stream fire extinguisher?

What do you do is a electrcal fire?
use an ABC fire extinguisher NOT WATER
How do you put out a fire fast?
Get a fire extinguisher! Or get LOTS of water!
What is the rupture pressure limit for a CO2 fire extinguisher?
CO2 extinguisher have a max test pressure of 20,700 kPa. Max design operating pressure of 18,570 kPa. The min burst pressure of a cylinder must be at least 2.7 times the max operating pressure. So the burst pressure of a CO2 fire extinguisher will be at least 50,139 kPa
Which gas is used in fire extinguishers?
The gas used in fire extinguishers is carbon dioxide. That is only for a CO2 extinguishers High pressure and no Gauge on the unit(about 2000psi). Normal Dry chemical extinguisher ABC, BC (195psi)Use Nitrogen as the propellent.
What is the oldest fire extinguisher?
