The unit used on spring scales is 'Newtons.'
A scale
It depends on the scale. For a scale in a chemistry lab probably a gram. For old fashioned stores: a kilogram. Precision scales could be a milligram.There is no real "basic" metric unit for a balance scale. The counterweights you use are determined by the item you are measuring.
Spring scales can measure grams, newtons, or pounds.
Ounces or Grams
One degree on the Celsius scale is equivalent to one Kelvin in the metric unit of temperature.

It is the metric or SI scale for linear measurement.
A scale
Weight (Newtons or pounds).
It measures by using newtons.
No metric unit will find the weight of the pumpkin for you. For that, you'll need some kind of a scale. However, once you've found the weight, you'll use a unit of force to describe it. The metric unit of force is the Newton. (NOT the kilogram.)
