As a concrete [[interval region]], it is typically near 500{{c}} in size, distinct from the [[semiaugmented fourth]] of roughly 550{{c}}. A rough tuning range for the perfect fourth is about 470 to 530{{c}} according to [[Margo Schulter]]'s theory of interval regions. Another common range is the stricter range from 480 to 514{{c}}, which generates a diatonic scale.

This article covers intervals from 450 to 550{{c}}, in order to cover the range of intervals without needing extra articles for subfourths or superfourths.  
This article covers intervals from 450 to 540{{c}}, but intervals between 540 and 550 cents have been "grandfathered in" due to the fact that superfourths and subfifths were not originally given their own articles.
