Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a volume only. It does not work out a volume from dimensions or weight.
  • Bushels, pecks, dry quarts and dry pints here are US dry measures by volume. The imperial bushel is a different size, and bushels of grain defined by weight are not covered.

A: One US bushel is about 35.239 liters. Enter any amount to convert it.
Q: Which units does this use?
A: These are US dry measure units, all based on the 2150.42 cubic inch bushel. A US dry quart is about 1.1012 liters, larger than the US liquid quart of about 0.94635 liters, so the two are not interchangeable.
Q: Can I convert the other way?
A: Yes. Swap the From and To boxes to convert liters to US bushels.
