A quart (qt) is a unit of volume measurement.
A single quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces (fl oz), 2 pints, or 4 cups.
It is a key measurement in both the imperial and United States customary systems. The plural form is quarts.
The word "quart" comes from the Latin word quartus, meaning "a fourth part."
This name is a direct clue to its size: a quart is exactly one-quarter of a gallon. This simple relationship makes it an easy-to-remember unit.
It's crucial to know that the US and Imperial (UK) quarts are not the same size. While both systems are related, their definitions for a quart differ significantly.
This difference is critical to remember when converting recipes or measurements between countries.
The United States customary system also distinguishes between a liquid quart and a dry quart.
A liquid quart is used for liquids like milk or oil, while a dry quart measures the volume of dry goods like berries or flour.
They are not the same volume.
A deciliter (dL) is a common metric unit of volume equal to one-tenth of a liter.
It is often used in cooking and medical measurements.
While less common in North America, the deciliter is a standard unit of measurement in many European kitchens, especially in Scandinavia.
It's frequently used in recipes to measure both dry and liquid ingredients, such as flour, sugar, water, and milk.
You'll often find it printed on measuring cups and food packaging throughout the region.
The deciliter plays a crucial role in the medical field.
Blood test results often use this unit to express the concentration of substances in the blood.
For example, blood sugar levels are commonly measured in milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL), and cholesterol levels are also frequently reported this way.
The deciliter fits neatly within the decimal-based metric system.
The prefix "deci-" means one-tenth, so a deciliter is exactly one-tenth of a liter.
