The average adult human has between 4.5 - 5 liters (about 5 quarts) of blood. One rule of thumb is that blood comprises about 8% of total body weight in a healthy adult. Blood has a slightly higher specific gravity due to salt content. So while a quart of water weighs 2.08 lbs, the same volume of blood would weigh about 2.20 lbs.
