In general, direct measurement methods are commonly used for P-wave velocity, in recent times semi-direct and indirect measurement methods have begun to be chosen. In this study, cube samples with 10 cm edges were prepared from 41 different igneous rocks (plutonic, volcanic and pyroclastic). The correlations between P-wave velocities obtained with the direct measurement technique and the semi-direct measurement method were researched with the aid of simple regression (SR) and multiple linear regression (MLR). For the SR correlation of direct and semi-direct P-wave velocity, the lowest correlation coefficient was found to be 0.924. Values obtained with the semi-direct method for P-wave velocity measurement were larger than values obtained with direct measurement. Additionally, very high correlations were identified between the two measurement methods (>0.941) with MLR analysis.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessP-Wave VelocityDirect MethodSemi-Direct MethodSimple RegressionMultiple Linear RegressionIgneous RockArticle10.1007/s12046-025-02825-82-s2.0-105010529649
