What is a Quart and a Milliliter?
The US liquid quart (symbol qt US) is a unit of volume in the United States customary units system. It is equal to one-quarter of a US gallon, which is exactly 57.75 cubic inches or approximately 0.946 liters. It is commonly used for measuring medium quantities of liquids, such as milk, oil, and juices.
The milliliter (symbol mL or ml) is a metric unit of volume equal to one-thousandth of a liter (1/1000 L). It is also equivalent to exactly one cubic centimeter (1 cm³). The milliliter is widely used in scientific measurements, medicine, and cooking.
Note: The Quart is part of the imperial/US customary system, primarily used in the US, UK, and Canada for everyday measurements. The Milliliter belongs to the metric (SI) system.
History of the Quart and Milliliter
The quart, meaning 'quarter part' (of a gallon), shares its history with the gallon. The US liquid quart is derived from the English wine gallon (231 cubic inches), making it distinct from the Imperial quart used elsewhere, which is based on the larger Imperial gallon.
The milliliter derives directly from the liter, established in France in 1795. As the metric system gained international acceptance, prefixes like 'milli-' (meaning one-thousandth) were applied to base units to create smaller or larger units. The equivalence 1 mL = 1 cm³ is a fundamental relationship in the metric system.

About Milliliter (mL)
Is a milliliter the same as a cubic centimeter (cc)?
Yes, 1 milliliter (mL) is exactly equal to 1 cubic centimeter (cm³ or cc). The terms are often used interchangeably, especially in medical and automotive contexts (e.g., engine displacement often uses cc).
