Maximum allowable torsional stress for static applications may be approximated as:-
S^sy = τ = 0.45Sut cold-drawn carbon steel
(A227, A228, A229)

Torsional stress:-
torsion is the twisting of an object due to an applied torque.
Calculating Max allowable torsional stress (cold-drawn carbon steel) depends on the following materials and characteristics on the table below:
| Material | ASTM | m | A |
| Music Wire | A228 | 0.163 | 2060 |
| Oil-tempered wire | A229 | 0.193 | 1610 |
| Hard-drawn wire | A227 | 0.201 | 1510 |
