## Discrepancy

IAH - REFERENCE CONTINENTAL EXPRESS SERVICE DIFFICULTY REPORT CONTROL NR C2XA00IA054. THE H2O FIRE EXTINGUISHER WAS INSPECTED FOR WEAR ON THE FACE OF THE C-O2 CARTRIDGE DUE TO DEFECTS LISTED ON THE AFOREMENTIONED SDR.  AN INDENTATION WAS FOUND ON THE C-O2 CARTRIDGE FACE WITHOUT ANY VISUAL HOLE BEING NOTED.  THE CARTRIDGE WAS THEN TEST FIRED AND THE DISCHARGE TIME AND PRESSURE WERE FOUND TO BE LESS THAN THAT OF A NEW CARTRIDGE SAMPLED AT THE SAME TIME.  A NEW H2O CARTRIDGE WAS INSTALLED IN THE FIRE BOTTLE AND RETURNED TO THE AIRCRAFT FOR RE-INSTALLATION.  (X)
