Default What temperature?

The quilting article just released mentions different settings used to iron non-traditional fabrics that might be used in a quilt. I've seen "use a warm iron", hot iron, etc., and sometimes even settings given in degrees, but how do these translate into the notations used on the iron itself? (other than the obvious, turn the iron on full blast to get hot as hades?) If there's someone out there who works in the iron industry, is there a standard or even just a source where you could look up a table to see what your iron uses for a temperature scale?
