imperial quart
The term "imperial quart" refers to a unit of measurement for liquid volume used primarily in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries. One imperial quart is equivalent to 1.136 liters or 40 fluid ounces. It is part of the imperial system, which includes other units like gallons and pints.
The imperial quart is divided into two pints, making it a convenient measure for both cooking and beverage serving. It is important to note that the imperial quart differs from the US quart, which is slightly smaller at 0.946 liters. Understanding these differences is essential for accurate measurements in recipes and other applications.
