If you're measuring mass, the tool you use is a balance and the unit of measure is grams.

If you're measuring volume, the tool you use is a beaker or graduated cylinder and the unit of measure is milliliters (mL).

If you're measuring length or width or height, the tool you use is a ruler and the unit of measure is meters and centimeters (metric) or inches and feet (standard).
