As a concrete [[interval region]], it is typically near 700{{c}} in size, distinct from semidiminished fifths of rougly 650{{c}}. A rough tuning range for the perfect fifth is about 670 to 730 [[cents]] according to [[Margo Schulter]]'s theory of interval regions. Another common range is the stricter range from 686 to 720{{c}}, which generates a diatonic scale.

This article covers intervals from 650 to 750{{c}}, which is very wide, but is done to avoid having to make articles for the tiny interval regions that would otherwise be required to cover the entire span of intervals.  
This article covers intervals from 660 to 750{{c}}, but intervals between 650 and 660 cents have been "grandfathered in" due to the fact that superfourths and subfifths were not originally given their own articles.
