Abstract	Radiative torques play an important role in grain alignment mechanism in interstellar space. However, the quantitative evaluation has been rather restricted. We therefore numerically evaluate radiative torques on the basis of the MSTM-code developed by D. W. Mackowski, and report the results in this paper.
