If you look at the Norton table you can see that their water stones tend to be equivalent to sandpaper with half the grit size. For example, a 4K is equivalent to 2K sandpaper. Maybe Shapton changed that to make their grit the same as sandpaper.
I believe sandpaper is done with a screen, so 2K sandpaper has no particle larger than 2K. Norton uses an average, so the particles in a 4K stone may be as large as 2K particles, as long as the averagew is 4K.
