quartsized

Quartsized is a term used to describe something that occupies a volume equivalent to one U.S. liquid quart. A quart is a unit of volume in the U.S. customary system, equal to one-fourth of a U.S. gallon or two U.S. pints. Therefore, anything quartsized holds approximately 0.946 liters or 32 U.S. fluid ounces.

The term is commonly encountered when discussing containers, such as bottles, jars, or cartons. For example, a milk carton might be sold as a quartsized container. It is also used in recipes or instructions where a specific volume of liquid is required. While less common than other units like liters or gallons, the quart remains a familiar measure in certain contexts, particularly in the United States for beverages and some food products.

It is important to distinguish between U.S. liquid quarts and U.S. dry quarts, though the liquid measure is far more prevalent in everyday use. A U.S. dry quart is slightly larger than a U.S. liquid quart, but the term "quartsized" almost invariably refers to the liquid measure. The imperial system also has a quart, which differs in volume from its U.S. counterpart.
