The tool supplier will be able to advise you best. They will have specification requirements for the parameters. First take a look at NACE RP0102 and move on from there.

Gas lines generally need more pressure than liquid lines. Some contractors need up to 7000 kPa, but the requirements vary amongst different tool manufacturers. Its best to contact them about it.

You might want to have a look on my webspace page, if you haven't been there yet. There's a pigging requirements "Blog" there.
