In the British Imperial and US Customary measuring systems, a quart is a unit of capacity. The British system uses one standard quart, which is equivalent to two imperial pints or one-fourth of an imperial gallon, for both liquid and dry measurements (69.36 cubic inches, or 1,136.52 cubic cm).
The United States uses two-quart units, one for liquid measurement and the other for dry measurement. The liquid quart in the United States is equivalent to two liquid pints, or one-fourth gallon (57.75 cubic inches, or 946.35 cubic cm); the dry quart is equal to two dry pints, or 1/32 bushel (57.75 cubic inches, or 946.35 cubic cm) (67.2 cubic inches, or 1,101.22 cubic cm).
