Can Sizes
We occasionally see questions about can sizes, so I thought
I'd convey what an undated old booklet from the American Can Company states. Then perhaps folks can find this via google when the question arises.... Common Can Sizes: No. 1/4 Flat Can: 4 3/4 oz, ca 1/2 cup; used for meat spreads. No. 1/2 Flat Can: 7 3/4 oz-8 1/2 oz, ca 1 cup; used mainly for salmon. No. 1 Tall Can: 12-16 oz, ca 2 cups; used for salmon, fruit cocktail and fruits. No. 2 Can: 1 lb 2 oz to 1 lb 8 oz, ca 2 1/2 cups; used mainly for vegetables, fruits and juices. No. 2 1/2 Can: 1 lb 10 oz to 2 lbs 3 oz, ca 3 1/2 cups; used primarily for fruits, but spinach, tomatoes, sauerkraut, beets and pumpkin are also packed in it. No. 3 Cylinder: same as No. 5 Can. No. 5 Can: 3 lbs, 9 oz (47-48 oz), ca 6 cups; used for juices. No. 10 Can: 6-8 lbs, ca 13 cups; used for vegetables and fruits. Commonly called institutional or restaurant size and not ordinarily available in stores. -- Jean B.
