Conversion Formula
To convert liters (l) to quarts (qt), you multiply the liter value by 1.05669. This number comes from the fact that 1 liter is approximately 1.05669 quarts. The formula looks like this:
Quarts = Liters × 1.05669
Why this works: liters and quarts are both units measuring volume, but from different systems. Liter is metric, while quart is imperial/US customary. The conversion factor represents how many quarts fit into one liter.
Example calculation for 26 liters:
- Start with 26 liters
- Multiply by 1.05669: 26 × 1.05669 = 27.48594
- Result rounds to about 27.49 quarts

Conversion Definitions
Liter (l): A liter is a metric unit of volume, equal to 1 cubic decimeter, or 1,000 cubic centimeters. It is widely used for measuring liquids and gases, especially in everyday contexts like beverages, fuel, and cooking. The liter is not an SI unit but accepted for use with SI.
Quart: A quart is a unit of liquid capacity in the US customary and imperial systems. It equals one-fourth of a gallon. In the US customary system, a quart is about 0.946 liters. Quarts measure volume in cooking, automotive fluids, and other liquid substances.
Conversion FAQs
Why does 1 liter not equal exactly 1 quart?
Liters and quarts come from different measurement systems with different base units. A liter is metric, based on cubic meters, while a quart is from the US customary or imperial system, based on gallons. Their sizes differ slightly, so 1 liter is about 1.05669 quarts, not exactly 1.
Can I use the same conversion factor for dry quarts?
No, dry quarts measure volume of dry substances and their size differs slightly from liquid quarts. The 1.05669 factor applies to liquid quarts. For dry quarts, a different conversion value is needed, and using the liquid conversion can cause errors.
Is this conversion tool accurate for scientific work?
The tool uses the standard conversion factor with four decimal places which works well for everyday purposes. For highly precise scientific work, more decimal places or different units may be required, but this tool is accurate enough for cooking, general volume conversions, and common applications.
Does temperature affect the liter to quart conversion?
The conversion between liters and quarts is a fixed ratio of volume units, so temperature doesn’t affect the number. However, liquids expand or contract with temperature, so the actual volume of the liquid might change slightly, but the unit conversion stays constant.
Why does the result sometimes have many decimal places?
Because the conversion factor is a non-terminating decimal, multiplying liters by 1.05669 can produce long decimal results. Rounding to a few decimal places makes the number easier to use without losing much precision for everyday needs.
