5.2 quarts equal approximately 4.9176 kilograms.
To convert quarts to kilograms, we need to know the density of the substance involved because quarts is a volume measurement and kg is a weight. Assuming the substance is water, which has a density of about 1 kg per liter, and knowing that 1 quart is roughly 0.946353 liters, we multiply to find the weight in kg.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert quarts to kg is: weight (kg) = volume (quarts) × 0.946353. This works because 1 quart equals about 0.946353 liters, and water’s density is roughly 1 kg per liter. For other substances, the density must be used instead.
For example, with 5.2 quarts: 5.2 × 0.946353 = 4.9176 kg. The calculation multiplies the volume in quarts by the liter equivalent, then converts liters of water to kilograms based on its density.
Conversion Example
- Convert 2 quarts to kg:
- Multiply 2 by 0.946353
- 2 × 0.946353 = 1.8927 kg
- Convert 10 quarts to kg:
- 10 × 0.946353 = 9.4635 kg
- Convert 0.5 quarts to kg:
- 0.5 × 0.946353 = 0.4732 kg
- Convert 7.8 quarts to kg:
- 7.8 × 0.946353 = 7.3753 kg
- Convert 12.3 quarts to kg:
- 12.3 × 0.946353 = 11.647 kg

Conversion Definitions
Quarts is a volume measurement used mainly in the US, equal to a quarter of a gallon, approximately 0.946353 liters. It is often used to measure liquids like milk, juice, or oil in household and commercial settings.
Kg, or kilogram, is a unit of mass in the metric system, equal to 1000 grams. It measures the weight of objects and substances, and its value depends on the substance’s density when converting from volume measurements like quarts.
Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion from quarts to kg for liquids other than water?
The accuracy depends on the density of the liquid. Since different liquids have different densities, the conversion based on water’s density (1 kg/liter) gives an approximation. For precise measurements, use the specific density of the liquid involved.
What changes if I use a different substance with a different density?
If the substance has a density other than 1 kg per liter, you need to multiply the volume in quarts by the volume in liters per quart, then multiply by the actual density. This adjusts the weight calculation to the specific material.
Can I convert quarts to kg for solids using this method?
No, this method works only for liquids with known density. Solids have different densities, and their conversion from volume to weight requires knowing the specific density of the solid material.
Is the conversion factor for quarts to liters standard worldwide?
While the US quart is about 0.946353 liters, other countries may use different quart sizes. Always verify which quart measurement is used, especially in international contexts, before converting.
