The invention relates to a magnetic-inductive flowmeter (1) comprising: - a measuring tube (2) for guiding the medium, wherein a
longitudinal plane (LE) divides the measuring tube (2) into a first side and a second side, wherein the measuring tube (2) has an outer lateral surface; - a
magnetic field generating device (3), which
magnetic field generating device (3) comprises: at least one
saddle coil (4), wherein the
saddle coil (4) is arranged on the outer circumferential surface, wherein a coil wire of the
saddle coil (4) delimits a
saddle coil interior (5), a
saddle coil core arrangement (6) with at least one
saddle coil core (7), wherein the saddle coil core arrangement (6) is arranged in the saddle coil interior (5), wherein a central angle α in a cross section through the magnetic-inductive flowmeter (1) spans a minimum circular sector in which the saddle coil core arrangement (6) is arranged, wherein for the central angle α, 10 ≤ α ≤ 50 applies; and - at least four measuring electrodes (11, 12, 13, 14), wherein at least two (11, 13) of the at least four measuring electrodes (11, 12, 13, 14) are arranged on the first side and likewise at least two (12, 14) of the at least four measuring electrodes (11, 12, 13, 14) are arranged on the second side, wherein a central angle β spans a minimum circular sector in the cross-section in which the at least two measuring electrodes (12, 14) of the first side are arranged, wherein for the central angle β it applies that 20 ≤ β ≤ 70.
