Mass is measured in "grammes"
By a "balance"
One of those must be the answer you're looking for

A variety of techniques.
You can compare an unknown mass to a known mass directly with a balance.
You can also use the weight to infer the mass, using a calibrated spring as found in scales and strain guages.
Very heavy object lifted by hydraulics or pneumatics can be weighed by measuring the pressure in the fluid.
Celestial objects such as planets can have their mass determined by measuring their gravitational influence on other objects.

kilograms are used to measure mass or lbs and stones! to measure the weight as such it is actually measured in newtons.
