About Cubic Inch to US Quart Conversion

Converting cubic inch to us quart comes up frequently in cooking, chemistry, medicine, and engineering. A recipe written in metric units may need to be adapted for a kitchen using us quart, or a laboratory protocol may specify volumes in cubic inch that need to be measured with equipment calibrated in us quart.

In everyday use, knowing that 5 in³ = 0.08658 qt and 10 in³ = 0.1732 qt covers most common situations. For bulk calculations, 100 in³ = 1.732 qt is a useful anchor. The reverse conversion — us quart back to cubic inch — uses the factor 57.75, so 1 qt = 57.75 in³.

All conversions use the internationally recognized factor of exactly 1 in³ = 0.01732 qt. Calculations are performed in IEEE 754 double-precision floating point, giving accuracy to at least 8 significant figures — more than sufficient for any practical application.

Quick Answer

Formula: US Quart = Cubic Inch × 0.017316054

Multiply any cubic inch value by 0.017316054 to get us quart. One cubic inch equals 0.017316054 qt.

Reverse: Cubic Inch = US Quart × 57.749876

Worked Examples

One cubic inch
1 in³ × 0.017316054 = 0.017316054 qt
1 in³ = 0.01732 US quarts.
One US quart
57.75 in³ × 0.017316054 = 1.0000021 qt
57.75 in³ = 1 US quart.
One US gallon
231 in³ × 0.017316054 = 4.0000086 qt
231 in³ = 4 quarts = 1 US gallon.
One cubic foot
1728 in³ × 0.017316054 = 29.922142 qt
1,728 in³ = 29.92 quarts.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Cubic Inch and US Quart

Cubic Inch (in³)

The cubic inch is the volume of a cube with one-inch sides, equal to exactly 16.387064 mL. It belongs to US customary and British Imperial systems, in practical use since the 17th century.

Cubic inches appear most often in engine displacement for small engines and in precision machining for material volume calculations.

Interesting fact: A standard 12-fluid-ounce US soda can has a volume of about 21.7 cubic inches.

US Quart (qt)

The US liquid quart is one-quarter of a US gallon, equal to 946.353 mL. The word 'quart' comes from Old French quarte (fourth part), dating to medieval England.

Quarts are standard in American cooking and food packaging: motor oil, paint, cream, and ice cream are commonly sold in quart containers.

Interesting fact: The US quart and the Imperial quart differ significantly — the Imperial quart is 1.136 liters versus 0.946 liters for the US quart.
