You can easily measure this by dangling a weight from a string and winding that around a pulley of known diameter.
This arrangement will produce a fixed torque on the pulley, which you can adjust by changing the weight.
Now all you have to do is attach a knob to the the pulley and you can feel what a given torque is like. Adjust the weight until the torque ...

Generally the maximum bending stress $\sigma$ on a beam under bending is given by:
$$\sigma_{max} = \frac{M}{I}\cdot y_{max}$$
where:
I: the second moment of area of the rod (2d, because the internal diameter is by removing two thickness from the extenral )
$$I =\frac{\pi}{64} \cdot ( D^4 - (D-2 d)^4)$$
$y_{max} = \frac{D}{2}$ in this case
M: is the bending ...

Given: Total weight = 150 kg, uniformly placed over beam with 0.55m span length.
M = wL^2/8 = (150/0.55)(0.55^2)/8 = 10.3 N-m = 0.0103 kN-m
For A302, A304, stainless steel tubing, Fy = 207, Fa = 0.6 Fy = 124.2 MPa = 124200 kN/m^2
For D = 10 mm, y = D/2 = 5 mm, I_req = My/Fa = [0.01030.005/124200]*1000^4 = 414.6 mm^4
For round pipe with D = 10 mm, d = 1 mm, I ...

If you choose your rods appropriately, a bigger concern is going to be those holes you drill for the rods. For now, I'll leave you with a beam bending approximation approach:
$$Stress = \frac{LeverMoment * CentroidDistance}{MomentOfInertia}$$
With your tube definitions, you get that the
$$CentroidDistance = D/2$$
$$MomentOfInertia = \frac{\pi}{64} * ( D^4 - ...
