kelvins A chemical element, K, atomic number 19, and atomic weight 39.102. It stands in the middle of the alkali metal family, below sodium and above rubidium. This lightweight, soft, low-melting, reactive metal is very similar to sodium in its behavior in metallic forms.

does international system of units mean a version of the metric system used by modern scientists
1 gram is in the metric system. do you mean 1ounce?
No, grams are unit of mass, not temperature. Temperature is measured in °C (degrees celsius) or for scientific work in 'K' K = °C + 273.15
Some common metric system suffixes include: kilo (k) = 10^3 (1000) centi (c) = 10^-2 (0.01) milli (m) = 10^-3 (0.001)
If, by 'metric system', you mean 'SI system', then the base unit for mass is the kilogram
k is an abbreviation of kilo which means thousand in the metric system. But WHO REALLY CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
k is for kilo, which means 1000 in the metric system

It is a measurement of volume using units from the metric system.
K normally stands for KILO, which means a thousand. In the metric system K = 1000 In the binary system K (eg in kilobyte) = 210 = 1024 (which is roughly a thousand).

K normally means a thousand of something. In the metric system K stands for kilo = 1000 In the binary system k also stands for kilo (eg kilobyte), but here k = 210 = 1024 (just over a thousand). 6K could also mean 6 Kelvin, a very low temperature (-267.15 deg C).
It means multiplying with constants from a non metric system (such as length using yards, feet, inches) to a metric system (using meters)
