What is the US liquid quart?

The US liquid quart is a volume unit equal to one quarter of a US liquid gallon, exactly 0.946352946 liters.

What is the UK barrel used for?

The UK barrel is traditionally used to measure beer, ale, and cider quantities primarily in British brewing and pub trade.

Why do conversions between quart (US) and barrel (UK) often result in fractions?

Because the UK barrel is a large unit compared to the smaller US quart, so converting small quart volumes produces fractional barrel amounts.
