The Winchester quart is an archaic measure, [10] equal to two imperial quarts (i.e. half an imperial gallon) or exactly 2.273045 liters. The 2.5 L bottles in which laboratory chemicals are supplied are sometimes referred to as Winchester quart bottles , although these contain 10% more than a traditional Winchester quart.
