How can I determine the dimensions of the cans listed on Quality Containers website?
A. The dimensions of cans are represented on Quality Containers website using a system that is standard in the can industry. Can sizes are represented by a series of numbers, which describe the can dimensions in inches at 1/16″ intervals. Example 1. 307 x 409 can measures: The first number represents the can’s nominal diameter, therefore 307= 3-7/16 inches The second number represents the can’s nominal height, therefore 409= 4-9/16 inches Example 2. 502 x 504 can measures: The first number represents the can’s nominal diameter, therefore 502= 5-2/16 or 5-1/8 inches. The second number represents the can’s nominal height, therefore 504= 5-4/16 or 5-1/4 inches.
