Default Tippets: 'X' vs breaking strength

Can anyone give me a summary of the relationship between the X system
of tippets, and the breaking strength? My Mongolia connection
recommends using a 10-12 pound tippet, but I'm not at all sure what
size that is. I'm vaguely aware that the material and diameter will
play a significant role, and I also know that I can just read it on
the spool, but my gear is buried kinda deep in the shed and its dark
out there....
:-o
