It depends up on the code which you follow. As per ASME B31.3 (Process piping) it is minimum 10 minutes. But you take API 560 (for fired heaters) it is minimum 1 hour.
If it is as per ASME B31.4 (Pipeline transport system for Liquid Hydrocarbon) then it is minimum 4hours. For pipelines the BS8010 calls for 24 hour test.
In almost all the cases it will be less than 90% of yeild strength.
