About Quart (qt)
A US customary unit of volume equal to exactly 2 US pints, 4 US cups, or 1/4 of a US gallon (≈ 946.353 mL). Quarts are a common US retail size for milk and juice cartons (the classic 'quart of milk' US carton), motor oil and other automotive fluids (1 quart bottles are the de-facto US automotive-fluid retail SKU — engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering, coolant), interior paint (consumer paint sample cans are 1 qt; many specialty / craft paints are quart-only), Crock-Pot / slow-cooker capacity ratings (2 qt, 4 qt, 6 qt, 8 qt), and home-canning / preserving (Ball Mason wide-mouth quart jars). A US quart is conveniently almost exactly one litre (~5.4% less), so many internationally-traded products use a single-SKU 1-litre size that satisfies both US quart-equivalent customers and metric markets. **Important**: the UK Imperial quart is 1.1365 L — 20% larger than the US quart. 1 US qt = 32 fl oz = 0.9464 L = 0.8327 UK qt.
About Liter (L)
A metric unit of volume equal to exactly 0.001 cubic meters (one cubic decimeter), defined by the BIPM since 1964. The litre is accepted for use with the SI per the BIPM SI Brochure and is the global standard for beverages and beverage labelling under the EU Food Information to Consumers Regulation 1169/2011 and Codex Alimentarius, fuel economy (km/L outside North America), automotive engine displacement (e.g., '3.0 L turbo'), medical fluid volumes (TPN bags, IV fluids, blood volume), industrial chemical-process material balances (Aspen HYSYS / CHEMCAD default volumetric unit alongside m³), and HVAC/plumbing flow specs. Reference values: a standard wine bottle is 0.75 L, a Coke can 0.33 L, a US half-gallon ~1.89 L, a midsize-car fuel tank 50-70 L, a household water heater 150-300 L, a standard IBC industrial-chemical tote 1,000 L. One litre of pure water at 4 °C and 1 atm weighs almost exactly 1 kg — a deliberate design feature of the original metric system. 1 L = 1,000 mL = 1,000 cm³ = 1 dm³ = 0.2642 US gal = 33.81 US fl oz.
