Halon is gaseous at atmospheric pressure and liquid when under pressure, =
just like LP gas.  If it still weighs the same it hasn=E2=80=99t lost =
any contents, and if the valve isn=E2=80=99t corroded, it ought to work =
just fine.  If you=E2=80=99re concerned take it to one of those shops =
that recharges and inspects fire extinguishers and get them to inspect =
and certify it.
