Use of at least partly cross-linked polyolefin plastic, which is oriented biaxially, as material for pressure pipes, is described. The pressure pipe is produced by extrusion with subsequent axial and peripheral orientation of the pipe, the pipe being at least partly cross-linked before the biaxial orientation. Preferably, the pipe is cross-linked to about 20-50% before orientation. By the at least partial cross-linking before orientation, this can be carried out at temperatures above the crystalline melting point of the plastic material.
