Usually kilograms are used for larger quantities (like, for purchasing flour), grams for smaller quantities (like, for measuring flour for a recipie).
-- Gram . . . used to measure the mass of little things -- Kilogram . . . used to measure the mass of medium-size things -- Metric ton . . . used to measure the mass of enormous, heavy things
A balance is used to measure either mass or weight. The corresponding units are kilograms (for mass) and newton (for weight).
Grams- and milligrams/kilograms- are used as a measure of mass.
Some examples of units used to measure mass include kilograms (kg), grams (g), pounds (lb), and ounces (oz).
The SI (International System of Units) base unit for mass is kilogram (kg).
Grams
Units of measure are used to measure anything: length or volume, mass or speed, pressure or force etc.

The same units as mass, for objects in the same gravitational reference frame.
There is only one and that is a kilogram.
