The Chinese sheng (Chinese: 升; pinyin: shēng), called sho in Japan and seung in Korea, also called Chinese liter, is a traditional unit of volume in East Asia. It originated from China and later spread to Japan, the Korean Peninsula, Vietnam and other places. [ 1 ]
The reputed quart was a measure equal to two-thirds of an imperial quart (one-sixth of an imperial gallon), or exactly 0.757681 6 liters, which is only 0.08% larger than one US fifth (exactly 0.7570823568 liters). The reputed quart was previously recognized as a standard size of wine bottle in the United Kingdom, and is only about 1% larger ...
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).
Perhaps the most common metric item sold is the two-liter bottle, while some supermarket chains also make their store brand soft drinks available in 3-liter sizes. Soft drink containers of 1 liter and 0.5 liters (and more recently 1.25 liter bottles) are increasingly sold alongside 12 fl oz , 16 fl oz, 20 fl oz, and 24 fl oz (355, 473, 591 and ...

One litre is about 5.7% 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 Dutch measures of volume, as with all other measures, varied from locality to locality. The modern-day equivalents are therefore only approximate and equating litres with quarts will not unduly distort the results (1 litre = 1.057 US quarts = 0.880 UK quarts) Okshoofd. okshoofd (oxhead) – 6 ankers = 232 litres
