One litre is about 5.6% larger than a US liquid quart, and about 12% smaller than an imperial quart. A mnemonic for its volume relative to an imperial pint is "a litre of water's a pint and three-quarters"; this is very close, as a litre is about 1.760 imperial pints. A cubic foot has an exact volume of 28.316 846 592 L.
The volume of a container is generally understood to be the capacity of the container; i.e., the amount of fluid (gas or liquid) that the container could hold, rather than the amount of space the container itself displaces. By metonymy, the term "volume" sometimes is used to refer to the corresponding region (e.g., bounding volume). [2] [3]

The Winchester quart is an archaic measure, [10] equal to 1 ⁄ 16 of a Winchester bushel: this is equal to 134.40126 cubic inches or 1.9378781 imperial quarts or 2.2024420 litres. The 2.5 L bottles in which laboratory chemicals are supplied are sometimes referred to as Winchester quart bottles , although these contain 13.5% more than a ...

Liquid water has a density of about 1 kg/dm 3, making any of these SI units numerically convenient to use as most solids and liquids have densities between 0.1 and 20 kg/dm 3. kilogram per cubic decimetre (kg/dm 3 )
So whilst the imperial gallon, quart, pint and gill are about 20% larger than are their US fluid measure counterparts, the fluid ounce is about 4% smaller. [ e ] One avoirdupois ounce of water has an approximate volume of one imperial fluid ounce at 62 °F (16.67 °C).
