The quantitative theory of diffraction by azimuthally ordered circular nanotubes of any chemical composition is offered. The pseudoorthogonality effect, earlier found out experimentally, is considered. The obtained results are compared with X-ray diffraction patterns of oriented preparations of chrysotile nanotubes.
