Symbols always are written in the singular form (even when more than one is meant).
RIGHT: 1 mm, 500 mm, 1 kg, 36 kg
WRONG: 500 mms, 36 kgs
BUT: It is correct to pluralize written-out metric unit names: 25 kilograms, 250 milliliters

Something you could be referred to as ` a 10kg weight` kg is not showing plural because it is an adjective in this sense

1kg = 1 kilogram
2kgs = 2 kilograms
3kgs = 3 kilograms
etc.
You use kg when you are referring to 1 kilogram. Every other number you use kgs.
