The Mettler Coparator Balance is not a normal mass meter. It is used for measuring very small changes in mass AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED TO MEASURE THE FZG GEARS BEFORE AND AFTER TESTS.

== Time Line ==
Comparator fixed by Mettler and returned on 27 June 2010. The comparator showed no sigh of improvement as the zero still drifted. A new comparator was purchased and the old one is used as a normal mass meter in the 3rd Year Labs.
