US quarts conversion reference
US quarts to Milliliters
One us quarts is 946.352946 milliliters, and one milliliters is 0.001057 us quarts.
A milliliter is one thousandth of a liter, and exactly the same volume as one cubic centimeter. It is used for drinks, medicine doses and recipe quantities.
- 1 qt= 946.352946 mL
- 2 qt= 1,892.705892 mL
- 5 qt= 4,731.76473 mL
A milliliter is one thousandth of a liter, exactly one cubic centimeter, or 0.000001 cubic meters. It is the small metric unit for liquid and dose volumes.
Medicine doses, laboratory samples, cosmetics, flavorings and small bottles of liquid are measured in milliliters. Syringes, measuring spoons and dosing cups are graduated in milliliters. Beverage cans and bottles often carry the volume on the label.
US quarts to Liters
One us quarts is 0.946353 liters, and one liters is 1.056688 us quarts.
A liter is one thousandth of a cubic meter. It is the everyday metric unit for liquids — bottled water, fuel, milk and cooking oil.
- 1 qt= 0.946353 L
- 2 qt= 1.892706 L
- 5 qt= 4.731765 L
The liter is exactly one cubic decimeter, or 0.001 cubic meters, and it equals 1,000 milliliters. It is accepted for use with the International System as a named unit of volume.
Fuel, bottled water, cooking oil, paint, milk and engine coolant are sold in liters in most countries, and vehicles quote fuel use in liters per 100 kilometers. Recipes use the unit as well.
US quarts to Cubic meters
One us quarts is 9.4635e-4 cubic meters, and one cubic meters is 1,056.688209 us quarts.
A cubic meter is 1,000 liters, and the volume of a cube one meter on each side. It is used for bulk water, concrete and sand, and for shipping volume.
- 1 qt= 9.4635e-4 m³
- 2 qt= 0.001893 m³
- 5 qt= 0.004732 m³
The cubic meter is the International System unit of volume, the space in a cube with one-meter edges, exactly 1,000 liters or one kiloliter. It is the reference volume against which metric liquid and bulk measurements are defined.
Concrete, water consumption, natural gas, soil, shipping volumes and reservoir capacity are recorded in cubic meters. Utility bills in metric countries often express water and gas use this way.
US quarts to Cubic centimeters
One us quarts is 946.352946 cubic centimeters, and one cubic centimeters is 0.001057 us quarts.
A cubic centimeter equals one milliliter exactly. It is used for engine displacement, medicine doses and small solid volumes — a 1,500 cc engine displaces 1,500 of them.
- 1 qt= 946.352946 cm³
- 2 qt= 1,892.705892 cm³
- 5 qt= 4,731.76473 cm³
US quarts to Cubic inches
One us quarts is 57.75 cubic inches, and one cubic inches is 0.017316 us quarts.
A cubic inch is 16.387064 milliliters. It is used for engine displacement in the United States and for small volumes in imperial engineering.
- 1 qt= 57.75 in³
- 2 qt= 115.5 in³
- 5 qt= 288.75 in³
US quarts to Cubic feet
One us quarts is 0.03342 cubic feet, and one cubic feet is 29.922078 us quarts.
A cubic foot is 28.316846592 liters, and the volume of a cube one foot on each side. It is used for gas meters, freight and the capacity of appliances and containers.
- 1 qt= 0.03342 ft³
- 2 qt= 0.06684 ft³
- 5 qt= 0.167101 ft³
A cubic foot is the volume of a cube with edges one foot long, exactly 28.316846592 liters or 0.028316846592 cubic meters. It is a unit of volume, not of area.
Shipping containers, natural gas, water supply, refrigeration and timber are measured in cubic feet in the United States and parts of the freight trade. Appliance capacities also use it.
US quarts to US gallons
One us quarts is 0.25 us gallons, and one us gallons is 4 us quarts.
A US gallon is 3.785411784 liters, defined as 231 cubic inches. It is the standard liquid and fuel unit in the United States, and is about 20% smaller than an imperial gallon.
- 1 qt= 0.25 gal
- 2 qt= 0.5 gal
- 5 qt= 1.25 gal
A US gallon is exactly 3.785411784 liters, or 231 cubic inches, and it divides into four quarts, eight pints or 128 US fluid ounces. It is a defined liquid volume and not a unit of mass.
Fuel at filling stations, paint, milk, water and agricultural sprays are sold by the US gallon in the United States and in some export markets. Larger tanks and drums are also rated in gallons.
US quarts to US pints
One us quarts is 2 us pints, and one us pints is 0.5 us quarts.
A US pint is half a US quart, or 0.473176473 liters. A UK or imperial pint is larger, at 0.56826125 liters, which is why the same drink measures differently in each country.
- 1 qt= 2 pt
- 2 qt= 4 pt
- 5 qt= 10 pt
US quarts to US fluid ounces
One us quarts is 32 us fluid ounces, and one us fluid ounces is 0.03125 us quarts.
A US fluid ounce is 29.5735295625 milliliters, one sixteenth of a US pint. It is used for drinks, spirits and recipe measures in the United States.
- 1 qt= 32 fl oz
- 2 qt= 64 fl oz
- 5 qt= 160 fl oz
A US fluid ounce is exactly 29.5735295625 milliliters, one 128th of a US gallon. It measures liquid volume and is not the same as the ounce of mass.
Beverage bottles, cocktail recipes, medicine cups, infant formula and cosmetic containers are labelled in US fluid ounces in the United States, and bar measures follow the same unit.
US quarts to Imperial gallons
One us quarts is 0.208169 imperial gallons, and one imperial gallons is 4.8038 us quarts.
An imperial gallon is 4.54609 liters, about 20% more than a US gallon. It is the traditional UK and Commonwealth liquid unit, now largely replaced by liters.
- 1 qt= 0.208169 imp gal
- 2 qt= 0.416337 imp gal
- 5 qt= 1.040843 imp gal
US quarts to US cups
One us quarts is 4 us cups, and one us cups is 0.25 us quarts.
A US cup is 236.5882365 milliliters, or 8 US fluid ounces. It is the standard measure in American recipes; metric and Australian cups are 250 milliliters, so a recipe's cup depends on where it was written.
- 1 qt= 4 cup
- 2 qt= 8 cup
- 5 qt= 20 cup
A US cup is exactly 236.5882365 milliliters, one sixteenth of a US gallon and eight US fluid ounces. It is a recipe measure rather than a general liquid unit.
It appears in American and adapted recipe books, baking charts, measuring cup sets and some packaged food directions. Outside cooking it is rarely a legal or trade unit.
What us quarts are used for
A US quart is a quarter of a US gallon, or 0.946352946 liters. It is used for milk, oil and other liquids in the United States.
US and imperial units are kept separate because they are genuinely different sizes. Confirm which system a source means before trusting a converted figure.
The metric volume units are a clean decimal chain around the liter, so liters to milliliters is a shift of three places and cubic meters to liters is a shift of three the other way. Those pairs a reader can do without a converter.
Every pair that names a US or imperial liquid unit has to go through the definition first, because three of these units differ from a metric unit by amounts too large to round away: a liter is not a quart, a gallon is 3.785411784 liters in the US system and 4.54609 in the imperial one, and a US fluid ounce is not an imperial fluid ounce.
When checking a volume conversion, convert into liters and out again, or measure the container. The mistake that survives every other check is reading a US measure as the imperial unit of the same name, which changes a recipe, a fuel figure or a tank size by about a fifth.

WaterAid puts the minimum daily water need per person at 20 litres, so one container is roughly one person's daily requirement.
