US Dry Quarts to Milliliters (dry qt to mL)

1 US dry quart equals 1,101.220943 milliliters (rounded).

1 US dry quart = 1,101.220943 milliliters

How to convert US dry quarts to milliliters

To convert US dry quarts to milliliters, multiply the number of US dry quarts by 1,101.220943. The factor is rounded to 10 significant digits. To go the other way, multiply milliliters by 0.0009080829843 (rounded).

milliliters = US dry quarts × 1,101.220943

Example: 10 US dry quarts = 11,012.20943 milliliters.

Pints, quarts, gallons and fluid ounces differ between the US and the UK. Units are labeled 'US' or 'imperial' to avoid confusion.

About these units

US Dry Quart (dry qt)

US customaryTraditional unit (still used in some regions)

One 32nd of a US bushel (1.1012 L), about 16% larger than a liquid quart. Used for berries and small produce.

Quart comes from the Latin quartus, a fourth, by way of French, and a quart is meant to be a quarter of a gallon. American usage splits the unit in two, though, because a liquid gallon and a dry gallon were never the same. The dry quart is 1/32 of a US bushel, 67.200625 cubic inches, about 1.101 L. The liquid quart is 57.75 cubic inches, about 0.946 L, so the dry one is roughly 16 percent larger.

Britain avoids this split, since the imperial system has one quart for both liquids and solids, 69.35 cubic inches or about 1.1365 L, and it is a little larger than the American dry quart. Because gallons of many sizes were once in use, quarts have also come in many sizes, and the dry quart itself sometimes varied by commodity. Berries and small produce are the usual goods sold by it. NIST lists it as 1.101221 L.

1 US dry quart = 1.101220943 liters (approximately).

Milliliter (mL)

Metric (SI)Current unit

One thousandth of a liter, or exactly 1 cubic centimeter. Used for medicine, cooking and small containers.

Milliliters inherit everything from the liter, since the prefix simply means one thousandth. Because the liter is a cubic decimeter, a milliliter works out to exactly one cubic centimeter, a coincidence the metric system built in on purpose so that volume, length and mass interlock. One milliliter of water has a mass of about one gram, so a dosing syringe, a kitchen scale and a measuring jug can all be checked against one another.

Today milliliters dominate wherever small amounts must be measured precisely: medicine, flavorings, perfume, shampoo and the fine print on drink labels. Spelling is a mild regional split, with uppercase mL preferred in the United States, Canada and Australia and lowercase ml common in the UK and Europe. For scale, a US teaspoon is just under 5 mL, a US tablespoon is about 14.8 mL, and the US nutrition-label cup is exactly 240 mL, so one such cup is 240 of these tiny units.

1 milliliter = 0.001 liters (exactly).
