About Converting Drams per Liter to Centigrams per Quart
Dram per Liter and Centigram per Quart both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
centigrams per quart = drams per liter × 167.679092044
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 dram per liter equals 1.77184519531 base units, and 1 centigram per quart equals 0.0105668820943 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct dram per liter-to-centigram per quart factor of 167.679092044.
Simple example
1 dr/L × 167.679092 = 167.679092 cg/qt
1 dram per liter = 167.679092 centigrams per quart.
Real-world example
1,000 dr/L × 167.679092 = 167,679.092 cg/qt
1,000 drams per liter = 167,679.092 centigrams per quart.

Frequently asked questions
How many centigrams per quart are in 1 dram per liter?
1 dram per liter equals 167.679092 centigrams per quart, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert dram per liter to centigram per quart?
Multiply the dram per liter value by 167.679092. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert centigram per quart back to dram per liter?
Use the reverse factor: 1 centigram per quart equals 0.0059637728 drams per liter. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a dram per liter?
Dram per Liter (dr/L) is a unit of density.
What is a centigram per quart?
Centigram per Quart (cg/qt) is a unit of density.
Is the dram per liter to centigram per quart conversion exact?
Yes. Both dram per liter and centigram per quart are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 167.679092 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
