How to convert quarts to milliliters
milliliters = quarts × 946.353
Example: 3 qt × 946.353 = 2,839 ml.
Multiply US quarts by 946.4 to get milliliters (millilitres). A quart is two US pints or four US cups, so a quarter of it is one cup, 236.6 ml.
Whole quarts add up fast. Two quarts come to 1,893 ml, and four quarts, a full US gallon, come to 3,785 ml. Past a quart or two, the same numbers read more easily as liters.
Round to the nearest 5 ml or 10 ml for soups and drinks. Keep the decimal for anything you plan to scale up many times, so the small errors do not stack.
US vs UK quarts
The imperial quart holds 1,137 ml, which is 1.201 qt in US measure. It is two imperial pints, and each of those is larger than a US pint.
If a British recipe asks for a quart, measure 1,137 ml rather than 946 ml. In US cups that is 4.804 cups instead of four, enough to change how thick a sauce turns out.
| Unit | Size | Used in |
|---|---|---|
| US quart | 946.4 ml | US |
| imperial quart | 1,137 ml | UK |
Splitting a quart into metric containers
If your freezer tubs or jars are sized in milliliters, divide the quart by the container size before you start pouring. A quart fills 1.9 tubs of 500 ml, 3.8 jars of 250 ml, or 6.3 small cups of 150 ml.
Round down to count full containers. One quart of stock fills one 500 ml tub and most of a second.
To measure a quart in a metric jug, stop just under the 950 ml line. The quarts to liters converter gives the same amount in liters.
Quarts and milliliters: questions
Is a quart 1000 ml?
No, a US quart falls a little short of that. The liter is the unit with an even 1,000 ml, and it holds 1.057 qt. The imperial quart goes the other way and holds more than a liter.
How many ml are in half a quart?
Half a US quart is 473.2 ml, the same as one US pint or two cups. A bottle marked 500 ml holds slightly more, so it can stand in for half a quart in most recipes.
How many ml are in 1.5 quarts?
One and a half US quarts hold 1,420 ml, which is 1.42 L. That is also six US cups, and a 1.5 L bottle holds a little more. One and a half imperial quarts would be 1,705 ml.
How many ml is 4 cups?
Four US cups are exactly one US quart, so they hold 946.4 ml. In metric cups of 250 ml, four cups would make a full 1,000 ml instead. A carton labeled 1 L therefore holds a bit more than four US cups.
