The standard SI unit for measuring mass is the kilogram (kg), even though most balances in your lab use grams (g). The standard SI unit for measuring volume is the cubic meter or m^3, but most of the time we use milliliters (mL). You can covert the two with 1 mL = 1 cm^3.

Three things have to be measured: mass, length, and time when describing space-time characteristics. Thus, one or more of three distinct units have to be used when describing dynamics or kinematics.
For example, when describing the density of something, we know that's mass/volume = rho = M/V. In kg-m-sec SI standard units M is in kg and V is in m^3; so rho's units are kg/m^3. kg is the mass unit and volume is the length unit cubed.
There are other SI (which is le systeme internationale in French) units: ampere, candela, degree Kelvin, and mole. [See source.] Each has its own definition set by the SI. Amp is a measure of flow of electrical current, candela is a measure of luminescence, degree is a measure of temperature, and mole is a measure of substance amount.
My Kind Sweet Aunt Kisses Me on the Cheek is a mnemonic for remembering the seven SI units of measure: meter, kg, second, amp, Kelvin, mole, and candela.

By measuring I assume you mean length, and its the meter.
