What Is This Tool?
This unit converter transforms dry volume quantities from the U.S. dry quart, a customary unit used especially in measuring bulk dry goods, into the UK imperial bushel, a standard unit for agricultural volumes.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the amount in Quart dry (US) you want to convert.
-
Select the 'Quart dry (US)' as the starting unit and 'Bushel (UK)' as the target unit.
-
Submit to view the converted volume in Bushel (UK).

Examples
-
10 Quart dry (US) equals 0.302793429 Bushel (UK).
-
50 Quart dry (US) converts to 1.513967145 Bushel (UK).
Common Use Cases
-
Measuring grains, beans, or seeds in agricultural inventory and seed testing.
-
Converting dry volume to compare crop yields or report agricultural statistics.
-
Planning storage or transportation of commodities in different regional volume units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always confirm the measurement system relevant to your region to avoid confusion.
-
Consider bulk density if converting volumes to mass for accurate commodity handling.
-
Use this tool to facilitate consistent reporting across US and UK agricultural measurements.
Limitations
-
Differences between US and UK volume standards may lead to conversion inaccuracies if not handled properly.
-
Bulk density variations require extra calculations when switching from volume to weight.
-
Older recipes or packaging using US quarts might not correspond directly to UK bushels.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a Quart dry (US) used for?
-
The Quart dry (US) is used mainly to measure bulk dry commodities like grains and seeds in agriculture and food packaging.
-
How many imperial gallons are in a UK Bushel?
-
One Bushel (UK) equals exactly 8 imperial gallons, defined precisely as 36.36872 litres.
-
Why should I consider bulk density when converting volume to mass?
-
Because the mass of a commodity depends on its bulk density, volume-to-weight conversion requires knowledge of this property for accuracy.
Key Terminology
-
Quart dry (US)
-
A US unit of dry volume equal to one quarter of a US dry gallon, used mainly for bulk dry commodities.
-
Bushel (UK)
-
An imperial unit of dry volume equivalent to 8 imperial gallons or 36.36872 litres, used in measuring agricultural products.
-
Bulk density
-
The mass per unit volume of a material, important for converting between volume and weight in commodities.
