Abstract:
A hardness tester includes a measurer (CPU) measuring a value for a material characteristic of a sample in conjunction with formation of an indentation, an acquirer (CPU) acquiring measurement data associated with the value for the material characteristic of the sample measured by the measurer, and a determiner (CPU) accumulating a predetermined value for the material characteristic based on the measurement data acquired by the acquirer and determining a time to replace the indenter based on the accumulated value for the material characteristic.

Claim (Index 6):
The hardness tester according to  claim 2 , wherein:\n when the number of times the value for the material characteristic of the sample is measured exceeds a set value, the determiner determines that the indenter needs to be replaced, and when the number of times the value for the material characteristic of the sample is measured does not exceed the set value, the determiner determines the time to replace the indenter based on the measurement data acquired by the acquirer.
