dry measure
Non-liquid volume standard
Dry measure is a system for measuring the volume of dry goods like grain, flour, or fruit.
Units include the pint, quart, peck, and bushel.
The term distinguishes these measurements from liquid measure, since dry and liquid volumes differ slightly: a dry pint is larger than a liquid pint.
