About these units
Gram
The gram became the fundamental mass unit of the original metric system in France (1795). It was superseded as the SI base unit by the kilogram, but remains the practical unit for small-mass measurement worldwide.
Kilogram
The kilogram was established as the coherent SI unit of mass in 1875. As the only SI base unit with a prefix in its name, the kilogram has an unusual history of being defined by a physical platinum-iridium prototype until 2019.
