A refractory brick segment for use in a heat regenerator is made of an electrocast refractory material in the shape of a tube. The brick segment has a wall thickness of from 35 mm to 75 mm and a substantially rectangular cross-section. All of an inner side wall, an outer side wall and a corner wall have concave portions so as to have a total volume which is from 0.4 times or more to 0.85 times or less as large as that of a corresponding brick segment having no concave portions and a surface area per volume unit which is 1.5 times or more as large as that of a corresponding brick segment having no concave portions.
