- 1Take your value in quartsStart with the number of quarts (qt) you want to convert.
- 2Multiply by 946.35295The conversion factor from qt to ml is 946.35295. Multiply your value by this number.
- 3Read the result in millilitersThe result is your value in milliliters (ml).
Formula
Multiply the value in quarts by 946.35295. For the reverse direction, multiply by 0.001057.
ml = qt × 946.35295qt = ml × 0.001057Tips
Use these in everyday conversions- 1 US quart = 2 US pints = 946 ml ≈ 1 L.
- 1 UK quart = 2 UK pints = 1137 ml.
- Quarts appear more often in the US than UK in everyday usage.
Common Mistakes
Avoid these- Treating US and UK quarts as equal — 20% off.
- Using quarts outside US — most metric countries do not use them at all.
- Confusing quart (volume) with quarter (mass unit in older UK contexts).
About Quart and Milliliter
What is the Quart?
The US quart equals exactly one quarter of a US gallon (0.946352946 liters) and is a common kitchen and motor-oil volume in the United States. The word 'quart' derives from the Latin 'quartus' meaning fourth. Milk and motor oil are commonly sold in quart containers (a quart of motor oil is 32 fl oz), and large recipes call for quart-sized stockpots. The US quart is distinct from the slightly larger UK imperial quart (1.137 L). It relates to the gallon (4 qt = 1 gal), the pint (2 pt = 1 qt), the cup (4 cups = 1 qt), the fluid ounce (32 fl oz = 1 qt), and the liter (1 US qt ≈ 0.946 L). The quart is a useful intermediate volume between the cup (small recipe measurements) and the gallon (bulk liquids).
- US cooking recipe quantities
- US motor-oil container sizes (1 quart bottles)
- Canning and preserving containers
A US quart of motor oil is 946 ml. A "quart of milk" in the US ≈ 1 L. UK "quart" is rare today.
What is the Milliliter?
The milliliter equals one thousandth of a liter (0.001 L) and is the standard small-volume unit for cooking, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and laboratory work. One milliliter is exactly 1 cubic centimeter (1 cm³), a convenient relationship: 1 mL of pure water weighs 1 gram. The milliliter is the universal unit on medicine bottles (a typical cough syrup dose is 5 mL), cosmetics (a perfume bottle is 50–100 mL), and recipe measurements outside North America (a tablespoon is 15 mL, a teaspoon is 5 mL). Medical syringes are calibrated in mL, and IV drip rates are computed in mL per hour. The milliliter relates to the liter (1,000 mL = 1 L), the cubic centimeter (1 mL = 1 cm³ = 1 cc), the teaspoon (1 tsp = 5 mL), and the US fluid ounce (1 fl oz ≈ 29.57 mL).

- Precise cooking and baking measurements
- Laboratory reagent measurement
A teaspoon holds about 5 ml. An espresso shot is 25–30 ml. An insulin pen delivers 0.1 ml increments.
