Graduated cylinder

Doe anyone know what size graduated cylinder I would need to be able to fit a plug in?
Just trying to figure out a way to make plugbuilding more complicated than it already is.

Most plugs should fit in a 1,000ml. They're about 18 inches tall, I imagine you only want to partially fill it so you can check the delta. Diameter should be good for most plugs without hooks

That's what I do now.
With a graduated cylinder, a scale, a calculator and a little basic math I should be able to make plugs perform closer to what I want without a lot of woodchuck engineering.
I want a cylinder that is 2" inside diameter I think.
