If the can were just a cylinder, its dimensions would be 21/2" wide by 413/16" tall. But the can is not just a cylinder. It is tapered at the top and bottom. The top rim is only 23/32" in diameter and the bottom is even smaller at 129/32" in diameter. This is so the cans can stack, of course. The cylindrical middle is 313/16" tall. The upper cone is 11/16" tall and tapers from the middle to the top, leaving 5/16" for the lower cone tapering at the bottom. There is a spherical indent at the bottom of the can (about 3/8" at its deepest) which I did not measure and a tapered cylindrical indent in the top (about 3/16") which I also did not measure. I don't work in the industry, so those measurements may be off a little bit. I just measured a can as best I could with what I had available.
