How many Ounces in a Quart?

Changing fluid ounces to quarts can feel like wandering through a winding maze. This puzzling chore inspired a fantastic calculator and a simple guide that turn the task into a piece of cake.

Or here’s a cheat sheet you can print out:

Fluid ounces (oz)	Quarts (qt)
1	0.03125
4	0.125
8	0.25
16	0.5
24	0.75
32	1
40	1.25
48	1.5
56	1.75
64	2

Background

The ounce (abbreviated oz.) is a unit of volume, mass, or weight.

(The name “ounce” came to use from the Latin word “uncia”, also a measure of volume.)

Ounces are used in the majority of British-derived systems of measurements, including the US and the UK Imperial system.

In the US measurement system, ounces in a quart can be calculated in two units:

1. U.S quart (liquid)
2. U.S quart (dry)

How many fluid ounces in a U.S Quart (Liquid)?

A fluid ounce (fl. oz. or oz. fl.) is a unit of volume.

In the Imperial system, one fluid ounce equals approximately 28.4 milliliters, while in the U.S system, the fluid ounce stands for about 29.6 milliliters of liquid.

• Imperial system: 1 fl. oz. = 28.4 ml
• U.S system: 1 fl. oz. = 29.6 ml

One quart (liquid) has approximately 32 U.S fluid ounces, while in the imperial system, one quart equals 33.306969 (33.31) fluid ounces.

• 1 U.S fluid ounce = 1/32 U.S quart liquid.
• 1 U.S quart liquid = 33.31 Imperial fluid ounces.

You can put it the other way around too:

• 1 Quart (qt) = 32 fl. oz. U.S
• 1 Quart (qt) = 33.31 fl. oz. Imp.

How many fluid ounces in a U.S Quart (Dry)?

A U.S quart (dry) contains 37.236711 U.S fluid ounces or 38.757564 Imperial fluid ounces.

You can thus approximately set the value of the U.S quart (Dry) as follows:

• 1 Quart Dry = 37.24 U.S. fluid ounces.
• 1 Quart Dry = 38.76 Imperial fluid ounces.

What about pints, cups, and gallons?

One quart equals two pints, while one pint equals two cups.

• 1 Quart= 2 Pints = 4 Cups = 32 fl. oz.
• 1 Pint = 2 Cups = 16 fl. oz.
• 1 Cup = 8 fl. oz.
