Both quarts and pounds are units of measurement used in British imperial and the United States customary measurement systems. A quart (qt) is a unit of volume and equals a quarter of a gallon. If you don't know what a gallon is, our gallon calculator is the right place to start.

We currently use three kinds of quarts:

• Liquid quart of the US customary system: It is basically a quarter of a US liquid gallon, or about 0.9464 liters.

• Dry quart of the US customary system: It is about a quarter of a US dry gallon, or about 1.1012 liters.

• Imperial quart: It is used for both liquid and dry volume measurements. It is equal to a quarter of an imperial gallon, or about 1.1365 liters.

A pound (lb) is a unit of measuring mass. One pound is approximately equal to 0.4536 Kilogram.

Since quarts is a unit of volume and pounds is a unit of mass, to convert one into another, we need to use a simple equation:

We will consider a simple example of converting 1 quart of water to pounds to understand this. We know that the density of water at room temperature (20°C) is around 62.28 lb/cu.ft and 1 cubic foot is about 29.92 quarts. Therefore, we can express the density of water as:

This means that the mass of 1 quart of water is:

Let's look at another example: maple syrup. The 1 quart to lbs calculation is:
