(54) Injector test apparatus


(57) An injector test apparatus comprises a collection device (10, 60) arranged to collect fluid delivered by a test injector (12). The collection device (10, 60) communicates through first and second three-way valves (16, 20, 70, 78) with a metering device (24, 74). The metering device (24, 74) is arranged such that, when fluid is supplied thereto through the first three-way valve (16, 70), fluid is displaced from the metering device (24, 74) causing fluid to be displaced through the second three-way valve (20, 78) to a fluid reservoir (44, 76), and vice versa.
