Yes, it should, I actually have a project that needs me to cut a cast iron pipe, and my soulution was to use a plasma cutter. The plasma cutter was develiped to cut both ferrous and non-ferrous materialls. Unlike a oxy-gas torch which is only good for steel which has a high Iron content, Plasma will cut steel, stainless steel (which has a much lower Iron content), Aluminum, and I am sure will cut other metals as well. The cutting action is based more on the extreme concentrated heat cutting the material more than a chemical reaction, or burning action of the material.
If the pipe is No Hub cast Iron you can use a mission cap If the cast Iron is bell then you caulk in a cast iron plug If the cast iron is a spigot end you get a transition coupling either standard weight CI or extra heavy and then use a cast iron cap in the transition coupling
You can buy the new cast iron flanges, with the expandable O rings that push into the pipe or you'll have to do the old style or pouring lead onto a cast iron flange. The latter option should only be done by professionals.
The outside diameter (OD) of a cast iron pipe typically depends on its nominal size, which is specified in inches. For example, a standard 4-inch cast iron pipe has an outside diameter of approximately 4.5 inches. It's important to refer to specific standards, such as those from the Cast Iron Soil Pipe Institute (CISPI) or ANSI, for exact dimensions, as there can be slight variations.

yes you can do it but you have to use a cast iron cutter, or cicular saw with a carbon friccion to cut arround the pipe. But if the cast iron pipe in in the ground and it's not muveble,, it may break.. so you have to be carefull and when you finish cutting it you put a piace of ABS pipe 1/2 shorter in each side. In order to incert the hob conectors..
Considering the waste inlet of the pipe of this pipe should be 4" possibly 3" you can buy an inside cast iron cutter .=You must measure the inside diameter and then buy /rent the one for the size you need THEN you can buy a new cast iron floor flange and use either a caulked joint (lead and oakum) or possibly a quick set type if the cast iron is no hub or standard weight=

Any good plumber knows a diamond blade is the best! ! You can use a Sawzall with "Grit Iron" blades, "Snap Cutters", or "Chain Cutters". Your cheapest way out of it would be either to rent a pair of snap or chain cutters, or buy the grit iron sawzall blades. Depending on how much cast iron your gonna cut, just be prepared to be there for a while if you are making more than 2 cuts through 3 or 4 inch pipe with the grit iron blades. Hi, Just cut a 4" cast iron pipe in less than a minute. I used a diamond blade on a Makita worm drive circular saw. Probably any circular would do as long as it has a little oomph Good Luck !!!! WayneRenovators & Builders Alliance, Inc.wvalzania@renovatorsandbuilders.com When confronted with having to remove a section of 4" diameter cast iron pipe, I initially considered using a hacksaw or grinder but the location was not the greatest(between floor joists under the upstairs bathroom). Save yourself hours of frustration by doing as I did and rent a chain cutter. It required very little clearance around the pipe and cut it perfectly in a few minutes and cost less than $30 cdn. MM SOMETIMES a hacksaw or Sabre saw with metal blades is even better than a snap cutter, as the snap cutter may crush a deteriorated pipe, and not cut it clean. However, with good quality cast, the snap cutters are still the best.
