German to English translations [PRO] Tech/Engineering - Military / Defense
German term or phrase:CA
From the technical requirements of the manufacture and packaging of carbon filter:
"Der Filtertopf ist mit einem zentral positionierten Rundgewindeanschluss mit Aussengewinde ohne Tuelle fuer Filter (CA) zu versehen."
Explanation: This could possibly be something to do with standard thread connections or connectors, in a similar manner to "Rundgewindeanschluss = RA", although I have no idea what CA could actually stand for. See the following website, although please note that I can't find reference to the terms CA or CAT anywhere else and that the English version is a translation.
Der Rundgewindeanschluss nach DIN 3183 – CA oder – CAT, entsprechend EN 148 –1, passt für Atemfilter, Pressluftatmer und
Schlauchgeräte. (page 2)
The standard thread connection conforming to DIN 3183 – CA or – CAT, equivalent to EN 148 –1, is designed to fit respirator filters, self-contained open-circuit compressed air breathing apparatus and fresh air hose breathing apparatus.

Also, abbreviations such as the one above are best clarified directly with your client as these are most probably in-house "jargon" of which we know nothing.
