My recharge canister came with a detachable/reusable gauge on it, which is used to test the pressure.

Just remember that the pressure you're looking at is when the clutch engages. When the clutch is not spinning, the pressure on the gauge rises (at least on mine) but when the clutch would start spinning it would fall to almost 0.
