2 quarts is equal to approximately 0.002 metric tons (to).
The conversion from quarts, a volume measurement, to to (metric tons), a unit of mass, involves knowing the density of the substance. Assuming water, 2 quarts translates to about 0.002 metric tons because 1 quart of water weighs about 0.000946 metric tons.

Conversion Formula
The formula to convert quarts to to is:
to = quarts × 0.000946353
This works by multiplying the volume in quarts by the mass per quart for water (or any substance you are converting, but here water is assumed). Since 1 quart equals about 0.946353 liters and 1 liter of water weighs 1 kilogram, the weight in kilograms is about 0.946353 kg per quart.
To convert kilograms to metric tons (to), divide by 1000:
0.946353 kg ÷ 1000 = 0.000946353 to
For example, for 2 quarts:
2 quarts × 0.000946353 = 0.001892706 to (rounded to 0.0019 to)
Conversion Example
- Convert 5 quarts to to:
- Multiply 5 by 0.000946353.
- 5 × 0.000946353 = 0.004731765 to.
- So, 5 quarts equals about 0.0047 to.
- Convert 10 quarts to to:
- 10 × 0.000946353 = 0.00946353 to.
- This means 10 quarts is approximately 0.0095 to.
- Convert 0.5 quarts to to:
- 0.5 × 0.000946353 = 0.0004731765 to.
- Therefore, half a quart weighs about 0.00047 to.
- Convert 7.2 quarts to to:
- 7.2 × 0.000946353 = 0.00681254 to.
- So, 7.2 quarts equals roughly 0.0068 to.

Conversion Definitions
Quarts: A quart is a unit of volume commonly used in the United States and the UK, equal to one-fourth of a gallon or two pints. It measures liquid or dry substances, with the US liquid quart at approximately 0.946 liters. Quarts measure capacity, not mass or weight.
To: The abbreviation “to” stands for metric tons, also called tonnes, a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms or about 2,204.62 pounds. It is used worldwide for measuring large weights, especially in industry, shipping, and science, and is different from the US ton.
Conversion FAQs
Can I convert quarts to to for any liquid without knowing its density?
No, converting volume (quarts) to mass (to) requires substance density. Without density, the conversion can’t be precise because different liquids weigh differently even if volumes are equal.
Why does converting 2 quarts to to give such a small number?
Because a quart measures volume and a metric ton measures mass, and since 1 quart of water weighs less than 1 kilogram, the resulting value in metric tons is very small, typically less than 0.001.
Is the conversion factor the same for all substances?
No, the factor 0.000946353 applies only to water at standard conditions. Other substances with different densities will have different conversion factors.
How accurate is the conversion for 2 quarts to to?
Accuracy depends on the density assumed; for water, it’s quite accurate, but for other liquids or solids, the conversion can vary greatly if density is not taken into account.
Can I use this conversion for dry materials?
You can, but only if you know the density of the dry material. Since quarts measure volume and to is mass, density must be included for a correct conversion.
