Mathematical Facts
Convert US cup to US dry bushel with the formula below. bu ≈ cup × 0.00671380474512. 1 cup ≈ 0.2365882365 L; 1 bu ≈ 35.2390701669 L Cup means the US customary cup (236.5882365 mL), not a 250 mL metric cup, a 240 mL labeling cup or a household glass. US customary liquid measures are used. US customary cups let a recipe quantity be expressed as repeatable measuring-cup volumes. US bushels here describe level dry volume, useful for comparing the space occupied by bulk material.
Why This Conversion Matters
Compare the numerical size of a US dry bushel with US liquid measures. This is a volume equivalence, not a claim that liquid quarts are the dry quarts used to subdivide a bushel. The calculator uses the full stored factor and rounds displayed results to 12 significant digits. Display precision is not a guarantee of measurement accuracy.
Real-World Examples
Dry and liquid unit definitions
Compare a half-US-cup liquid quantity with a fourfold recipe amount of 2 US cups. Compare the numerical size of a US dry bushel with US liquid measures. This is a volume equivalence, not a claim that liquid quarts are the dry quarts used to subdivide a bushel.
Examples:
- 0.5 cup ≈ 0.00335690237256 bu
- 2 cup ≈ 0.0134276094902 bu
Pro Tips:
- ✓Write “US liquid” beside quart or pint results; the bushel’s dry subdivisions are different units.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using 32 liquid quarts per US bushel
A US bushel is 32 dry quarts, but approximately 37.23671 US liquid quarts. The liquid quart in this calculator is smaller than a dry quart.
✓ Use the bushel and US liquid definitions separately; do not import the dry-quart subdivision into a liquid conversion. 1 cup ≈ 0.00671380474512 bu.
Pro Tips
- ✓Check the cup definition: 236.5882365 mL here, rather than a 250 mL metric cup or a household glass.
- ✓A bushel is a volume in this conversion, not a fixed mass or a prediction of processed yield.
- ✓Write “US liquid” beside quart or pint results; the bushel’s dry subdivisions are different units.
