About Quart (qt)
A US customary unit of volume equal to 2 pints, 4 cups, or 1/4 of a gallon (about 946 mL). Quarts are the common US retail size for milk, juice, motor oil, and paint cans. A quart is almost exactly equal to one liter (~5% less), which is why many international product containers labeled in liters serve the same role as US quart sizes without needing a separate SKU. The Imperial quart (UK) is larger at 1.136 liters.
About Liter (L)
A metric unit of volume equal to exactly 0.001 cubic meters (one cubic decimeter). Though technically not an SI unit, liters are accepted for use with SI and are the global standard for beverages, fuel consumption, car engine displacement, blood volume in medicine, and chemistry solutions. A standard wine bottle is 0.75 L, a soda can is 0.33 L, and a mid-size car's fuel tank holds 50–70 L. One liter of pure water at 4°C weighs almost exactly one kilogram — a design feature of the metric system.
