The invention relates to a magnetic inductive flow meter (1), comprising: - a measurement tube (2) for conducting the medium, the measurement tube (2) being divided by a
longitudinal plane (LE) into a first side and a second side, and the measurement tube (2) having an outer lateral surface; - a magnetic-field-generating device (3), said magnetic-field-generating device (3) comprising: at least one
saddle coil (4), the
saddle coil (4) being disposed on the outer lateral surface, wherein a coil wire of the
saddle coil (4) delimits a saddle-coil interior (5), and a saddle-coil core
assembly (6) having at least one saddle-coil core (7), the saddle-coil core
assembly (6) being disposed in the saddle-coil interior (5), wherein a central angle α in a cross-section through the magnetic inductive flow meter (1) spans a minimum circle sector in which the saddle-coil core
assembly (6) is disposed, wherein the following applies to the central angle α: 10 ≤ α ≤ 50; and - at least four measurement electrodes (11, 12, 13, 14), at least two (11, 13) of the at least four measurement electrodes (11, 12, 13, 14) being disposed on the first side and likewise at least two (12, 14) of the at least four measurement electrodes (11, 12, 13, 14) being disposed on the second side, wherein a central angle β spans a minimum circle sector in the cross-section in which the at least two measurement electrodes (12, 14) of the first side are disposed, wherein the following applies to the central angle β: 20 ≤ β ≤ 70.
