Tiptop sizes

I did the @#$%& thing and got a set of casting guildes.... the tiptop is 4mm, which is too big for my needs. I was expecting a size 4 tip, not a 4mm diameter one.

How do the tip sizes relate with actual diameter?

Tips are measured in 64ths of an inch, so a size 4 tip top has a 4/64" ID tube.
