Conversion Formula
The formula to convert liters (l) to quarts (qt) is:
quarts = liters × 1.05669
The number 1.05669 represents how many quarts are in one liter, based on the US liquid quart measurement. Multiplying by this converts liters directly to quarts. This works because liters and quarts are both units measuring volume, just in different systems.
For example, converting 2.6 liters:
- Start with 2.6 liters.
- Multiply by 1.05669 to get quarts.
- 2.6 × 1.05669 = 2.748 quarts (rounded to three decimals).
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 liters to quarts:
- Multiply 5 by 1.05669.
- 5 × 1.05669 = 5.28345 quarts.
- Result: approximately 5.283 quarts.
- Convert 0.75 liters to quarts:
- Calculate 0.75 × 1.05669 = 0.79252 quarts.
- Result: about 0.793 quarts.
- Convert 10 liters to quarts:
- 10 × 1.05669 = 10.5669 quarts.
- Result: roughly 10.567 quarts.
- Convert 1.2 liters to quarts:
- Multiply 1.2 by 1.05669.
- 1.2 × 1.05669 = 1.268 quarts.
- Result: about 1.268 quarts.
- Convert 3.3 liters to quarts:
- 3.3 × 1.05669 = 3.487 quarts.
- Result: approximately 3.487 quarts.

Conversion Definitions
l (liter): A liter is a metric unit of volume equal to one cubic decimeter (dm³), or 1,000 cubic centimeters. It is widely used for measuring liquids and gases, especially in everyday contexts like beverages, fuel, and cooking. The liter is not an SI base unit but accepted for use with SI.
quarts (qt): A quart is a unit of volume in the US customary and imperial systems. The US liquid quart equals approximately 0.946 liters, while the imperial quart is about 1.136 liters. Quarts are commonly used for measuring liquid volumes, such as milk and paint.
Conversion FAQs
Why does 1 liter convert to 1.05669 quarts, not exactly 1?
Because liters and quarts come from different measurement systems, their sizes differ slightly. The liter is metric based, defined as one cubic decimeter, whereas the US liquid quart is defined as a quarter of a US gallon. Hence, one liter equals about 1.05669 US quarts, not exactly one.
Can I use the same conversion factor for UK quarts?
No, because UK quarts are larger than US quarts. One UK quart equals approximately 1.136 liters. So, converting liters to UK quarts requires dividing liters by 1.136, or multiplying by about 0.88, which differs from the US quart conversion factor.
Is it accurate to round the results to four decimals?
Rounding to four decimal places gives a practical level of precision for most everyday uses, like cooking or fuel measurement. For scientific or engineering tasks requiring more precision, more decimal places or exact fractions might be needed.
Does temperature affect liter to quart conversion?
No, because both liters and quarts measure volume, not weight or density. However, temperature can affect the volume of liquids themselves by expansion or contraction, but the conversion factor between units remains constant regardless of temperature.
Why are negative values shown in the conversion chart?
Negative values can represent decreases or losses in volume, or used in mathematical contexts where volume changes are calculated. Including negative numbers help users handle calculations involving reductions or theoretical scenarios.
