Factors are entered by hand from NIST Handbook 130 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.

The same converter answers this pair however it is written: litres to US quarts is the British spelling of the same units — the metre and the litre are spelled that way outside the United States and the quantity does not change.

How do you convert liters to US quarts? The converter and the working

  1. 1.Take the measurement in liters.

NIST Handbook 44, Appendix C — general tables of units of measurement

What is a liter?

One cubic decimeter. A liter of water weighs almost exactly one kilogram, which is how the unit was designed.

What is a US quart?

Two pints, about 946 ml, and close enough to a liter that recipes swap them.

How many US quarts are in a liter?

One liter is 1.0566882 US quarts. Going the other way, one US quart is 0.94635295 liters. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.

Every volume unit here

The whole group — 20 units with their symbols and the size of each one in liters — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a liter.
