I don't think that link answers the question, and I like a maths puzzle, so I tried to work it out myself.

Using a tone generator I got these values.
Level | MeterF1
0 | 1
-1 | 0.8911
-2 | 0.798
-3 | 0.7077
-4 | 0.63
-5 | 0.5619
-10 | 0.31617
-20 | 0.9988
-30 | 0.0316
-40 | 0.00998
-60 | 0.0009
-80 | 0.00009


Cutting it short.. I get dbFS = 20 * log(MeterF1)
