Tippets are not identified by breaking strength. They are identified by their diameter in thousands of an inch. No matter who the manufacture is a 4X tippet should be .007" or it isn't 4X.
This relates to the old process of drawing gut through ever smaller holes to obtain a final diameter for a gut leader. One draw was 1X or .010". Three draws resulted in a 3X rating or .008". The result of this consistent diameter measurement is that you always know you can get 7X tippet through the eye on a size 20 fly.
The whole thing is governed by the rule of ELEVEN. The X rating and the diameter equal eleven. A 3X tippet is .008" and 8 plus 3 equals eleven. A 7X tippet is .004" and 7 plus 4 equals 11.
