Volumetric Metrology & Quart Standards (NIST Handbook 44)
In international volume metrology, the quart (qt) represents one-quarter of a gallon:
- **
- US Liquid Quart (Standard for Liquids & Engine Oil)**:
1 US liquid qt 3.785411784 L4 = 0.946352946 L = 946.352946 mL
US Quarts = Liters0.946352946 = Liters × 1.05668821
Liters = US Quarts × 0.946352946
- **
- US Dry Quart (Agricultural Produce & Berries)**:
1 US dry qt 1.10122094 L Dry Quarts = Liters × 0.90808298
- **
- UK / Imperial Quart (British Commonwealth)**:
1 Imp qt 4.54609 L4 = 1.1365225 L Imp Quarts = Liters × 0.87987699
- **
- Standard Volumetric Equivalents**:
- 0.9464 L = 1.0000 US qt = 2.0 Pints = 32 fl oz
- 1.0000 L = 1.0567 US qt
- 3.7854 L = 4.0000 US qt = 1.0 Gallon
- 5.0000 L = 5.2834 US qt
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Volume Value to Convert (e.g. 5), Quart Measurement Standard — choose from US Liquid Quarts (1 qt = 0.9464 L = 32 fl oz - Engine Oil & Liquids), US Dry Quarts (1 dry qt = 1.1012 L - Agriculture & Berries), UK Imperial Quarts (1 Imp qt = 1.1365 L = 40 Imp fl oz - UK/Commonwealth), Conversion Direction — choose from Liters (L) to Quarts (qt), Quarts (qt) to Liters (L), and Automotive & Beverage Benchmark — choose from Custom Volume Value, 5.0 Liters (Engine Oil Jug) → 5.2834 US Liquid Quarts (1.32 Gallons), 1.0 Liter Standard → 1.0567 US Liquid Quarts (2.11 Pints). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.
The Formula
Conversion factors used in this calculator:
1 US liquid qt = 0.946352946 L
1 US dry qt = 1.101220942715 L
1 UK Imp qt = 1.1365225 L
Worked Example
A mechanic performing an oil change requiring 5.0 liters of motor oil converts it to 5.0 ÷ 0.946353 = 5.2834 US liquid quarts (approx. 5 quarts and 9 fluid ounces).
Understanding Your Result
Unit conversion precision: round to the same number of significant figures as your original measurement. Converting 6 feet to meters gives 1.8288 m — but if your measurement was approximate (±1 inch), expressing more than 2 decimal places is false precision. For international trade and technical specifications, SI units (meters, kilograms, liters) are the standard. US customary units (feet, pounds, gallons) differ from Imperial UK units: 1 US gallon = 3.785 L vs. 1 UK gallon = 4.546 L.
