X dimention is the the measurement of space from the stop in a fitting socket to the centre line of the other. It is used to calcutare the gain due to fittings so if you need a 50mm length of tube and need to go into a fitting with a elbow say with a x of 5mm you only need 45mm of tube.
Hope this helps it's a lot Easter to show someone than try to explain

It might be a lot easier to show than to explain - BUT you did it very well. Thanks

Just learn what you need to for your exams and then forget it! You're never likely to use it again. You can recycle copper, you can't recycle time!
