In my old home heating system How do I replace an old cast iron radiator with a new baseboard heater with a gravity fed hot water system and get the new heater to work?
I think you need a pump; cast iron is not affected by the heat and cool (the clanging) cycle associated with gravity heat, but the new one might be, especially if it is copper tubing. Didn't they quit making those furnaces like decades ago?
Wiil cast iron pipes collapse under intense heat?
They are iron, so with enough heat, they will melt. Because of the nature of cast iron, they will probably crack and break before they melt.

How many btu's in 4 foot hydronic baseboard heater?
You will need to give more information. The Btu's of baseboard is determined by the water temperature and the type and size of the element. Copper fin tube (copper pipe with aluminum fins over it) heats up quick and loses heat quickly it also has many diameters of element (copper tube). Most common in residential is 1/2", 3/4" & 1" ID (the OD will be 1/8" or so larger). There is also Cast iron baseboard that heats up slowly and cools off slowly (this is a much more even and comfortable heat). You should never mix and match cast iron radiation and copper radiation of the same circuit it will cause large temperature swings in conditioned area. Tell us what the boiler temperature is set to and what the type of radiation is and you'll get an answer.
