To convert from Quart (qt) to Cubic meter (m3), 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 Cubic meter (m3).
Using the formula:
Therefore, 5 Quart (qt) is equal to Cubic meter (m3).

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 cubic meter (m3) is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to one thousand liters (1000 L).
It is the volume of a perfect cube with sides that are exactly one meter long. The plural form is cubic meters.
It can be challenging to visualize a cubic meter in your mind. Still, a few everyday examples help clarify the concept. One cubic meter is roughly the size of:
The cubic meter (m3) is the SI unit for volume — the global standard used in science, engineering, and international trade.
Because it's based on the meter (the SI unit of length), it fits neatly into a consistent measurement system.
This makes it practical for measuring large amounts — from the concrete for a building to the capacity of a shipping container.
The cubic meter has a direct and valuable relationship with mass.
For example, one cubic meter of pure water at its maximum density has a mass of almost exactly 1,000 kilograms (or one metric ton).
The unit is also used in specialized fields. When measuring stacked firewood, a cubic meter is often called a "stere."
While it's not an official SI unit, the stere is still commonly used in the forestry and timber industries.
