An experimental investigation has been conducted to determine the vortex free critical height during singledischarge and dual discharge from the smooth stratified air-water region through side branches mounted on a circularsurface. The branches are of 9 mm internal diameter and oriented at 00 and 1800. The experimental data are generatedfor branch Froude number in the range of 6.4 to 27.5. Both the branches are kept at equal Froude number. The resultsare compared with existing empirical and theoretical correlations. Experimental based correlations are developedrelating critical height, branch diameter and Froude number
