No.  There is no actual time interval involved.

If the page has not been accessed by the time it reaches the end of
the inactive list, it will be reclaimed.  How long it takes to reach
the end of the inactive list depends on how large that list is and
how fast pages are being scanned, which in turn depends on how fast
memory is being allocated for other things.
