If a weight scale is in kg, is it measuring gravitational pull or mass?

..that's a fair question, actually.
Don't lab scales have to be frequently calibrated?

Gravitational pull and converts it to mass on display.

The device for correctly measuring mass can be only with artificial gravity, as earth gravity's may be fluctuating as our planet is rotating with the galaxy and against near clusters of stars.

Isn't mass measured using a balance? It would have the same mass since the ratios of gravitational pull are the same.

Gravity * mass

Makes sense.

A fine scale is called a balance, not a scale, that is correct.

Kg = mass
Kg =/= force (or weight)
