What Is This Tool?
This online converter facilitates volume conversions from the UK quart, an imperial unit of volume commonly used in traditional British recipes and legacy measurements, to the cubic centimeter (cc), a metric volume unit equal to one milliliter. It helps translate old British liquid volumes into metric units used in medicine, engineering, and laboratories.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Input the volume value in quart (UK) units you want to convert.
-
Select the 'Quart (UK) [qt (UK)]' as the source unit.
-
Choose 'Cc [cc, cm^3]' as the target unit for conversion.
-
Click the convert button to see the result expressed in cubic centimeters.
Key Features
-
Converts UK quarts, precisely one quarter of an imperial gallon, into cubic centimeters.
-
Supports volume conversion commonly required in healthcare, engine displacement, and lab measurements.
-
Offers clear, browser-based usability without any installation.
-
Includes examples for straightforward calculation demonstration.
Examples
-
2 qt (UK) converts to 2273.045 cc by multiplying 2 by 1136.5225.
-
0.5 qt (UK) equals 568.26125 cc as half of the quart conversion value.
Common Use Cases
-
Converting traditional British recipe measurements from imperial units to metric units.
-
Calibrating syringe volumes in medical settings where cc and mL are equivalent.
-
Determining engine displacement in motorcycles and small engines expressed in cc.
-
Translating historical beverage labeling into metric volumes for standardization.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Always verify the unit type to avoid confusing UK quarts with US quarts.
-
Use metric cc units for scientific and medical measurements for universal clarity.
-
Leverage this converter to standardize older volumes into contemporary measurement units.
Limitations
-
Quart (UK) is an older unit rarely used in modern scientific contexts, requiring caution when applied.
-
Precision is important since minor errors in conversion could affect dosing or laboratory data.
-
CC units are metric and widely accepted globally, whereas quart (UK) is mainly historical and geographically limited.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a Quart (UK)?
-
The Quart (UK) is an imperial volume unit equal to one quarter of an imperial gallon, exactly 1.1365225 litres, primarily used in older British measurements.
-
How does a cubic centimeter relate to milliliters?
-
One cubic centimeter (cc) is exactly equal to one milliliter (mL), representing the volume of a cube with 1-centimeter edges.
-
Why convert from Quart (UK) to Cc?
-
Converting from Quart (UK) to Cc standardizes older British liquid measurements into metric units common in medicine, engineering, and scientific applications.
