Cubic Meters to Quarts formula
To convert cubic meters to quarts, multiply by 1056.68821.
qt = m³ × 1056.68821
Why this factor: the cubic meter and the quart are both defined against the liter, so dividing one definition by the other gives 1056.68821 directly. Both definitions are set out in full below.
To go the other way, divide by 1056.68821 — or use the Quarts to Cubic Meters converter, which is the same calculation reversed.
Worked example
Start with 50 m³. Multiply by 1056.68821 to get 52834.410472 qt.
50 m³ × 1056.68821 = 52834.410472 qt
The converter above does this for any value you type, in either direction.
What is a cubic meter?
A cubic meter is the SI unit of volume — the space in a one-meter cube.
Definition: Derived directly from the meter. Exactly 1,000 liters.
Where it is used: Freight and shipping volume, concrete and timber quantities, natural gas metering, and HVAC airflow.
What is a quart?
A quart is a quarter of a US gallon — two pints.
Definition: Exactly one quarter of a US liquid gallon, so exactly 0.946352946 liter.
Where it is used: Milk, motor oil, stock and broth, and ice cream in the US.
Worth knowing: Close to a liter but about 5% smaller, which makes it an easy source of recipe error.
Cubic Meters vs Quarts
The cubic meter is an SI unit while the quart is a US customary unit. That is why the factor between them is not a round number: the two systems were defined independently and only later tied together by exact agreement.
