Volume (dry) converter
Dry measure — a different family from liquid pints and quarts. 7 units, converted from one table of exact factors.
—
1 liter in every other volume (dry) unit
Computed by the same engine that runs the converter above, so these can never drift apart from it.

What each unit actually is
Most converters give you a number and stop. Where a figure is exact by definition we say so, and where it is an average or shifts with conditions we say that too — that is usually the thing you needed to know.
| Unit | Symbol | What it actually is |
|---|---|---|
| liter | L | |
| US dry pint | dry pt | Larger than a liquid pint. Berries and produce are sold in these. |
