Old gas pipe - what material is this?

[i3_happy]

We have an old gas pipe in the understairs cupboard. The previous occupants had the gas meter moved, but this old pipe remained. This pipe goes behind the electrical CU which I'm due to have replaced soon.

We are looking to cut the old pipe out, but trying to working out what material it's made of.....cast iron, galvanised steel? Just trying to work out how it can be cut as a normal hacksaw won't do the job!

Its what's known as black iron
actually black painted steel pipe so angle grinder with care multitool with correct blade anything that will cut steel.

Should be dead presume its live and cap or plug when finished.

Hacksaw will do the job, but it needs a willing operator!

That is not cast iron!
Black painted mild steel, we were still regularly using it when I started in 60s even on domestic supply's.

As exedon says mild steel worked with it often enough, easy to cut with a good hacksaw

Thanks all for your input, much appreciated.
In the end...angle grinder did 95% of the job, finished off with a small hacksaw.
