There really isn't a reliable bench test, other that to pressure up to test for leaks. You diagnose them with the system running to check pressure and temperature differentials.

So all you can do is replace the piston diaphragm and hope for the best, does that sound right? Thanks...

Re: A/C STV valve test...

Had to do a search for the term "STV valve", never heard it before. In the 67-72 trucks there is a POA valve. Seems to be similar. Here is a post on adjusting a POA http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&highlight=POA may help?
The other valve in the system is the TXV. Do not recommend adjusting the TXV. Which one are you referring to?
