Types of Warping in Weaving with Features

Types of Warping in Weaving:
There are two types of warping process used in woven fabric production. These are in the below:

1. Pattern warping or sectional warping,
2. Beam warping or high speed warping.

All the above two types have explained in the following:

1. Pattern warping or Sectional Warping:
In case of sectional warping, at first, equal length of warp yarn is wound in small section or sheets on a drum. After that, it is transferred to the warp beam from the drum in the format of a warp sheet.

1. It is costly process due to its lower production.
2. It is used to produce warp beam from so many small amount of warp yarn.
3. Here, tension of warp yarn cannot be kept uniform.
4. It is used to produce warp beam by using twisted yarn.
5. In case of sectional warping, hand weaving process is used.
6. It is used to produce stripe or check fabric.
7. It is also used to produce warp beam by using warp yarns which do not required any sizing materials to be applied before fabric weaving.
8. After completing sectional warping, warp beam can be formed immediately here.
9. In this warping process, a drum is used.

2. Beam warping or High Speed Warping:
Beam warping or direct warping is mostly used when several warp beams of same warp length have to be prepared.

Features or Characteristics of Beam Warping or High Speed Warping:
The main features of beam warping or high speed warping have listed in the below:

1. It is also used to produce warp beam from larger amount of warp yarn.
2. Here, the warp beam is produced after completing sizing process.
3. It is used to produce warp beam from single yarn.
4. It is used to produce common fabrics in large number of quantities.
5. This process is sued for high speed production.
6. In high speed warping, a simple flanged bobbin is used as beam.
