The International System of Units (abbreviated SIfrom the French Système international d'unités) is the modern form of the metric system and is generally a system of units of measurement devised around seven base units and the convenience of the number ten. It is the world's most widely used system of measurement, both in everyday commerce and in science.
The official SI unit of mass measurement is the kilogram (kg). In the laboratory, grams (g) are often used for convenience. Once measured, these values may be easily converted to other metric units of measurement, such as micrograms or picograms.
In the United States, the (avoirdupois) pound is used as a unit of mass. It has been officially defined to be 2.20462 pounds per kilogram.
