What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert volumes from cubic centimeters (cm³) to US liquid quarts (qt US). It helps translate measurements commonly found in medical dosing, engine displacement, and laboratory volumes into US customary volume units used in cooking, packaging, and automotive fluids.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the volume value in cubic centimeters (cm³)
-
Select 'cubic centimeter [cm³]' as the input unit
-
Choose 'quart (US) [qt (US)]' as the output unit
-
Click the convert button to get the result in US quarts

Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you distinguish between US liquid quart and other quart types to avoid errors
-
Use this converter when moving between small metric volumes and larger US customary units
-
Verify volume needs for fractional quarts as small metric volumes translate into small fractions of a quart
Limitations
-
Cubic centimeters represent very small volumes compared to US quarts; resulting values may be fractional and less intuitive for large measurements
-
This conversion applies only to US liquid quarts and should not be confused with Imperial or US dry quarts
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a cubic centimeter?
-
A cubic centimeter (cm³) is the volume of a cube with sides of one centimeter and equals one milliliter, commonly used in medical, laboratory, and engine displacement measurements.
-
How much is one US liquid quart in liters?
-
One US liquid quart equals exactly 0.946352946 liters, as defined by the US customary system.
-
Can this tool convert between cubic centimeters and Imperial quarts?
-
No, this tool converts only from cubic centimeters to US liquid quarts; Imperial and US dry quarts are different units.
