Salt is an industrial material, and it is produced by the tonne. It is often vended by weight, and you can purchase a ton, or a pound or two. Certainly a kilogram or two can be had as well. But it is often measured by volume in recipes, and everything from a dash to a pinch to a fraction of a teaspoon or tablespoon or even more (like for pickling) is called for in a given preparation. Measurement of salt is dependent on the person who wishes to measure it and will be done with consideration to the application. Salt for brine at a canning company will be purchased by the tonne, and will be dispensed into the vats by the pound or kilogram. And while this measurement is happening, the spouce of one of the workers at that canning company will be measuring out a teaspoon to include it in the preparation of a batch of cornbread. All of this will be done with the appropriate instruments for the amount of measurement involved.
