I am not experienced in extinguishers but I seem to remember being told that one can show good pressure on the gauge but the liquid inside can congeal.  They need to be shaken (not stirred) occasionally to insure that does not happen.  Apparently, when congealed, you can tell it when examined by shaking. Ray
