The ST790 Injector Test Stand is the recommended
injector assembly by measuring fuel delivery. The
calibration equipment for testing and calibrating

pressure, thereby measuring the delivery in a glass
graduate.
The ST590 Test Stand was used prior to release of
ST790 and may be converted, see your Cummins
Distributor. ST790 provides more accurate results,
better clamping arrangement and easier operation. The
accuracy and advantages of ST790 Test Stand make it
very important that ST590 Test Stands be converted;
meanwhile, your nearest Cummins Distributor can
calibrate Cummins Injectors to the latest specifications.
