How large is a number 10 food can?

Answer

A number 10 can is listed dimensionally as 602x700, which translates into 6-1/8" diameter and 7" height. For can dimensions, the first three digits are the diameter and the second three are the height. In each group of three, the first digit represents the whole inches of the dimension and the last two represent the remaining measurement in 1/16ths of an inch. 602 would be 6-2/16". 812 would be 8-12/16" or 8-3/4".
