For the metric (SI) system it is kilograms(kg), or grams(g), usually. Milligrams (mg) is pretty common as well. Also there is the metric ton (sometimes called tonne) which is equal to 1000 kg or 1 Mg (Megagram). Note the difference between mg and Mg!

In the imperial or customary system, there are grains, ounces (several kinds), pounds, tons.
