German term or phrase: cmtr (measurement)
Dear colleagues,

We are talking about fireplaces, new carburants and oxygen consumption.

"Laut Messung der LGA, liegt der Sauerstoffverbrauch bei max. 2cmtr pro Stunde"

CMTR - I guess it's not centimeters? How could oxygen be measured in centimeters?

Help, please... it's urgent ;)

Thank you!
Flavio

Explanation:
"cmtr" is not the standard way of abbreviating this in German (normally m3 is used, with the 3 appearing in superscript).
