How was the actual weight of a gram determined?
Unlike other units (meter, liter, etc.) it was actually the kilogram that formed the base of a metric weight. The kilogram was selected to have the mass of one liter of water. To make the unit 'official', a platinum weight was created, whose mass defines the kilogram. Surprisingly, the mass of this weight, now kept in a vault in France, is still the definition of a kilogram - unlike other units that are based on universal constants.

Why is it important that scientists in different countries check their ways of measuring a KG against the same standard mass?
When someone describes something as having a mass of one kilogram, it is important that everyone else understands what one kilogram is. Therefore there has to be an agreed definition of a kilogram. This means there has to be a standard kilogram that everyone can use to set their own kilogram. At present the standard kilogram is a block of platinum held in Paris, there are plans to redefine the kilogram in terms of the reaction between a fixed magnet and the magnetic field set up by an electric current passing through a wire, the kilogram will still weigh the same but the means of setting it will change.
