what does CA mean here?

The abbreviation of CA appears in the description of contents of the petroleum coke which go as follows:

Moisture: 9% max.
Sulfur: 2% max.
Volatile content: CA. 8-12%
Hardgrove Grindability Index: CA. 36-46
Gross Calorific Value: CA. 14,000 BTU/LB TYP.

I guess that CA might indicate that the content may vary within a range. But I have no idea specifically as to what CA stands for.

Shall appreciate your kind input.

Thanks,

Vincent

The only word I could imagine would be "circa".

Here is the definition from Dictionary.com:

–preposition, adverb about: (used esp. in) approximate dates: The Venerable Bede was born circa 673. Abbreviation: ca, ca., c., c, cir., circ.

I also think it is "circa", and it would have been better if the wrote it as "ca." instead of "CA." since the capital letters are not needed.
