气量 (qì liàng) — tolerance, magnanimity (used of a person's capacity to tolerate); air volume (physical volume of gas)

气量 (qìliàng) as a person means 'tolerance' — how big a heart someone has. Don't confuse with 气质 (qìzhì, 'temperament/charisma'), which sounds similar but is about style, not magnanimity.
