Its usually about 12 Hours 25 Minutes give or take. But that is not set in stone various things like the shape of the waterway, obstructions, drag caused by Coastlines etc. all affect the timing of the tides. Because it is longer than twelve hours per tide there are days where there is only 1 High tide
However there are also some places that have Double Tides or 4 high tides each day. This is often because they have more than one tidal water source feeding them. There are also some places that always have a single tide each day. I haven't worked that one out yet.
Perigee tides involve the Moon's orbit around the Earth. It does not go in a perfect circle but rather in an ellipse/oval shaped revolution. Because of that there are some points in the Moon's orbit at which the Moon is closer to the Earth. "Perigee" is the point of closest approach. With that closeness it causes a greater gravitational attraction between Earth and the Moon, pulling more water towards the Moon, causing what we know as high and low tides. "Spring tides" can occur during a perigee tide but not necessarily. A spring tide is a tide that occurs when the Sun, Earth and the Moon are nearly in a straight line, at a NEW MOON, or at a Full Moon. The highest tides happen then.

Moon: The moon causes the tides because of the moon's gravity. Tides are caused mainly by differences in how much the moon's gravity pulls on different parts of Earth.-Sorry I don't know how the sun causes the tides....-
I don't know if there was a standard time, particularly for units that may not have much contact with their headquarters. I recently read the experience of a pilot shot down over France and it was very important to him that he return to his unit within 10 days because he knew the telegram would be sent to his wife if he was still unaccounted for after that. He made it.
Spring tides (which are a little higher than average) occur when the Sun, Moon and Earth are pretty much lined up; at the new moon and the full moon. Lower-than-average "neap" tides happen at the 1st and 3rd quarter moon phases.
The largest tides are in the Bay Of Fundy, with differences of as much as 48 feet between high and low tide

Spring Tides. That is the High tide is very high and the low tide is very low. When the Sun, Earth and Moon are at 'right-angles to each other, then we have Neap Tides. The height range between high and low tides is much less than Spring Tides.

The word elapse refers to time that has passed. This word can be used in a sentence such as "How much time will elapse until I have the opportunity to take another vacation?"
Assuming there would be no Moon, tides would only be caused by the Sun. Therefore, we would have high tides at noon and ad midnight - but those would be much less pronounced than the tides we have now.Assuming there would be no Moon, tides would only be caused by the Sun.

The highest tides in the United States can be found in Anchorage, Alaska. The tides in Anchorage can vary by as much as 40 feet between high and low tide due to its location and unique geography.
The highest tides in the world are found in the Bay of Fundy, located between the provinces of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia in Canada. The tides in the Bay of Fundy can reach heights of over 50 feet (15 meters) during extreme variations.
