Understanding Measurement Systems
US Liquid vs Imperial vs Dry
This calculator uses US liquid measurements, which are standard in American recipes. Here's how they differ:
- US Liquid: 1 quart = 32 fl oz = 946.35 ml (what we use here)
- Imperial (UK): 1 quart = 40 fl oz = 1136.52 ml (20% larger)
- US Dry: 1 dry quart = 37.24 fl oz = 1101.22 ml (for dry goods like berries)
Most US recipes use liquid measurements even for dry ingredients like flour and sugar, which is why we focus on liquid conversions here. Note: Fluid ounces measure volume, while ounces (weight) measure mass - they're different units.
