What is a quart?

A quart belongs to the traditional units that are still common in different English-speaking countries for measuring both liquids and solids.

In general, it is equal to 2 pints or a quarter of a gallon:

1 qt = 2 pints = ¼ gallon

Historically, a gallon was the first option that appeared and it meant 8 pounds of wheat. Then, a pint was introduced into practice as a 1/8 part of the gallon and later a quart was derived from it.

However, products other than wheat were also measured that led to the diversity of meanings for all these options. Modern quart has three basic options:

• 1 US dry quart equals 1.1012209 liters;
• 1 US quart for liquids corresponds to 0.9463 liters;
• 1 English imperial quart is the same as 1.1365 liters.
