Qt to Liter FAQ
Everything people ask about converting quarts and liters, US vs UK measures, and which factor to use.
A US liquid quart equals exactly 0.946352946 liters. A US dry quart equals 1.101221 liters, and a UK (imperial) quart equals 1.1365225 liters. Which figure applies depends on whether you’re measuring a US liquid, US dry, or imperial quart.
No. A UK (imperial) quart is larger than a US quart. One imperial quart equals 1.1365225 liters, while a US liquid quart equals 0.946352946 liters — about 20% smaller. The imperial gallon is 4.54609 liters, while the US gallon is 3.785411784 liters, so every unit derived from them differs.
The US uses two different quarts. The liquid quart (0.946352946 L) is used for beverages, oil, and other liquids. The dry quart (1.101221 L) is used for measuring produce like berries and is about 16% larger than the liquid quart, because it’s based on the US dry gallon rather than the liquid gallon.
Multiply the number of quarts by the conversion factor for the quart type you’re using: 0.946352946 for US liquid quarts, 1.101221 for US dry quarts, or 1.1365225 for UK imperial quarts. For example, 5 US liquid quarts equal 5 × 0.946352946, which is approximately 4.73 liters.
One liter equals about 1.0567 US liquid quarts, 0.9081 US dry quarts, or 0.8799 UK imperial quarts. To convert liters to quarts, divide by the relevant conversion factor, or multiply by its reciprocal.
There are 4 quarts in a gallon in both the US and imperial systems. Since a US gallon (3.785411784 L) is smaller than an imperial gallon (4.54609 L), a US quart is correspondingly smaller than an imperial quart, even though both are one-fourth of their respective gallons.
US packaging often shows both units because liters are the standard metric unit used internationally and by the US beverage industry for labeling, while quarts and gallons remain common in everyday US measurement. Showing both helps consumers compare package sizes regardless of which unit they think in.
