Abstract: This electromagnetic flow measuring method and the corresponding flowmeter serve to improve the measuring accuracy in the range of measuring errors below 1% in conjunction with acceptable costs. The meter includes a tube (1), in which the fluid to be measured flows during operation. A single pair (2) of magnetic field coils is arranged on the lateral surface of the tube (1) on a magnetic field diameter (3) for generating a magnetic field. A first electrode pair including a first and a second electrode (41, 42), a second electrode pair including a third and a fourth electrode (43, 44), and a third electrode pair including a fifth and a sixth electrode (45, 46) touch the fluid. The first pair is arranged on diameter (4.sub.1) and forms an angle of 90.degree. with the diameter (3); the second pair is arranged on diameter (4.sub.2) and forms an angle of approx. 45.degree. with diameter (4.sub.1); the third pair is arranged on diameter (4.sub.3) and forms an angle of approx. 90.degree. with diameter (4.sub.2).
