About these units
US Dry Quart (dry qt)
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).

US Fluid Ounce (fl oz)
One 128th of a US gallon, 29.5735 mL. Not the same as the weight ounce, and about 4% larger than the imperial fluid ounce.
Fluid ounce began as an attempt to link volume to weight: the volume occupied by one ounce of some substance, such as wine in England or water in Scotland. Definitions varied by region and by liquid. When Britain defined its imperial gallon in 1824 as the space of ten pounds of water, the imperial fluid ounce came out so that an ounce of water weighs about one avoirdupois ounce. The US fluid ounce followed a different path and comes from the older wine gallon.
The US fluid ounce is exactly 1/128 of a US gallon, 29.5735295625 milliliters, about 4 percent bigger than the imperial one at 28.4130625 milliliters. American nutrition labels use yet another figure, treating one fluid ounce as 30 milliliters, a convenient rounding for serving sizes. The name is a trap, because a fluid ounce measures space while a weight ounce measures mass. A US fluid ounce of water weighs a bit more than an ounce of weight, while a fluid ounce of honey weighs considerably more.
1 US fluid ounce = 0.02957352956 liters (approximately).
