The invention describes and illustrates a magnetic-inductive flowmeter having a plurality of functional units (5) and having a housing (6) which is common to all of the functional units (5), wherein each functional unit (5) has a measuring tube (1) for an electrically conductive medium to flow through, a magnetic field-generating device (2) having at least one field coil (6) for generating a magnetic field which runs at least also perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube (1), and two measuring electrodes (3, 4), and wherein the virtual connecting line between the two measuring electrodes (3, 4) runs at least substantially perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field which passes through the measuring tube (1) perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube (1). In the illustrated exemplary embodiment, a common medium-inflow connection (7) is created in the housing (6) for the measuring tubes (1) of all of the functional units (5), a common power supply (8) is created for the magnetic field-generating device (2) of all of the functional units (5), and a common evaluation unit (9) is created for the measuring electrodes (3, 4) of all of the functional units (5). |
