What is the difference between a wet suit and a dry suit?

Dry Suit FAQ, A Buyer's Guide to Drysuits for Non-SCUBA Use
Dry suits are loose fitting except for gaskets at the neck and wrists that seal water out so you and your clothes stay dry. With dry suits for sports other than SCUBA diving, the suit itself does not provide insulation -- you wear clothes under the suit for that. The more clothes/insulation you wear, the warmer you will be. Wet suits don't keep you dry, but they can keep you warm. Wet suits are made of waterproof, closed-cell, foam-rubber (neoprene) which insulates even when wet.

Boiler & Steam Systems, LLC.

Operationally, you may wish to meter the wet and dry fuel to create a consistent fuel blend or you may want to exhaust the least merchantable fuel before using a more valuable fuel. With the controls designed for this scenario, this can easily be accomplished. In general, any time there are continuous variations in fuel quality, it is desirable to have an operator near by the steam plant.
