The quart (symbol: qt) [1] is a unit of volume equal to a quarter of a gallon. Three kinds of quarts are currently used: the liquid quart and dry quart of the US customary system and the imperial quart of the British imperial system. All are roughly equal to one liter. It is divided into two pints or (in the US) four cups.
Called a "Commercial Quart" because it was equivalent to 0.8 US fluid quarts. Replaced by the 750 mL "metric quart". Reputed Quart (UK) 25.6 US fl oz: 26.66 imp oz. 757 mL: The "Reputed Quart" (2 ⁄ 3 Imperial quart or 1 ⁄ 6 Imperial gallon) was devised to split a standard gallon into six large bottles and was usually used for wine and ...
Both the imperial and US fluid gallon are divided into 4 quarts, 8 pints or 32 gills. [d] However, whereas the US gill is divided into four US fluid ounces, the imperial gill is divided into five imperial fluid ounces. So whilst the imperial gallon, quart, pint and gill are about 20% larger than are their US fluid measure counterparts, the ...
The litre (Commonwealth spelling) or liter (American spelling) (SI symbols L and l, [1] other symbol used: ℓ) is a metric unit of volume. It is equal to 1 cubic decimetre (dm 3), 1000 cubic centimetres (cm 3) or 0.001 cubic metres (m 3). A cubic decimetre (or litre) occupies a volume of 10 cm × 10 cm × 10 cm (see figure) and is thus equal ...
Volume is a measure of regions in three-dimensional space. [1] It is often quantified numerically using SI derived units (such as the cubic metre and litre) or by various imperial or US customary units (such as the gallon, quart, cubic inch). The definition of length and height (cubed) is interrelated with volume.
In Canada, a teaspoon is historically 1⁄6 imperial fluid ounce (4.74 mL) and a tablespoon is 1⁄2 imperial fl oz (14.21 mL). In both Britain and Canada, cooking utensils come in 5 mL for teaspoons and 15 mL for tablespoons, hence why it is labelled as that on the chart. The volumetric measures here are for comparison only.

The same is true of quarts, gallons, etc.; six US gallons are a little less than five imperial gallons. The avoirdupois system served as the general system of mass and weight. In addition to this, there are the troy and the apothecaries' systems. Troy weight was customarily used for precious metals, black powder, and gemstones. The troy ounce ...
