Cubic Foot (ft³)
A cubic foot (ft³) is a unit of volume in the imperial and US customary systems, defined as the amount of space enclosed by a cube with one-foot sides. It originated in English-speaking regions where it became a standard for measuring materials and space, especially in construction and trade. Today, the cubic foot remains common in American industries such as real estate, heating and cooling (HVAC), and the measurement of natural gas. It is equal to about 28.316 liters, allowing for practical use in both domestic and industrial settings. Even though most of the world uses metric units, the cubic foot maintains its significance in various technical and commercial fields.
US Quart (qt)
The US quart, symbol qt, equals 1/4 of a US gallon, or about 0.946 liters. Originating from English quart measurements, it was standardized in the US system in the 19th century. Quart is frequently used in American cooking, grocery packaging, and automotive fluids. While less common internationally due to the adoption of the metric system, the quart remains an important household and commercial measure in the United States.
