To convert from Quart (qt) to Kiloliter (kl), use the following formula:
With is the ratio between the base units Liter (l) and Fluid Ounce (fl-oz).
Let's convert 5 Quart (qt) to Kiloliter (kl).
Using the formula:
Therefore, 5 Quart (qt) is equal to Kiloliter (kl).

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 kiloliter (kl) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to 1,000 liters.
It's used for measuring large quantities where using liters would be impractical.
A kiloliter is equivalent to a cubic meter, meaning they represent the same amount of volume. This creates a straightforward 1:1 relationship for conversions:
This direct conversion makes it incredibly easy to switch between liquid volume and spatial volume. This is particularly useful in fields like civil engineering, hydrology, and construction for tasks like calculating the capacity of a reservoir, swimming pool, or cargo container.
The kiloliter is a standard unit for measuring large quantities of liquids across many industries. When measuring large volumes, liters can become cumbersome, which is where the kiloliter comes in.
You'll commonly encounter the kiloliter in:
For water under standard conditions, there is a valuable and straightforward relationship between its volume and its mass.
One kiloliter of water has a mass of almost exactly one metric ton (1,000 kilograms).
This handy conversion, one kl of water ≈ 1 tonne, is fundamental in logistics and shipping, where the weight of liquid cargo is a critical factor.
